Linux derives P2PDMA reachability from visible PCI topology, ACS
configuration, and a host-bridge whitelist. It cannot describe conditional
or slower cross-host-bridge paths; passthrough can hide the physical peer
relationships.
This RFC series implements the proposed ACPI HMAT Type 3 extension below.
Directional Generic Port matrices describe reachability, ordering, latency,
and bandwidth. Linux uses ordered paths to authorize P2PDMA and their
latency/bandwidth to rank providers. A VMM could translate these matrices
into guest domains; that is outside this series.
