It's property based, and it's using a generic PCIE property afaict.
So it's up to each machine type to define those properties.
I'm curious here: What's the idiomatic way to define a machine
setting/attribute/property, let each instance define it or not, and
make it available at run time?
Would you be getting the PCI host pointer from the ACPI build state and
getting that information back from there?

Cheers,
Samuel.
