Liav A 1f9d3a3523 Kernel/PCI: Hold a reference to DeviceIdentifier in the Device class
There are now 2 separate classes for almost the same object type:
- EnumerableDeviceIdentifier, which is used in the enumeration code for
  all PCI host controller classes. This is allowed to be moved and
  copied, as it doesn't support ref-counting.
- DeviceIdentifier, which inherits from EnumerableDeviceIdentifier. This
  class uses ref-counting, and is not allowed to be copied. It has a
  spinlock member in its structure to allow safely executing complicated
  IO sequences on a PCI device and its space configuration.
  There's a static method that allows a quick conversion from
  EnumerableDeviceIdentifier to DeviceIdentifier while creating a
  NonnullRefPtr out of it.

The reason for doing this is for the sake of integrity and reliablity of
the system in 2 places:
- Ensure that "complicated" tasks that rely on manipulating PCI device
  registers are done in a safe manner. For example, determining a PCI
  BAR space size requires multiple read and writes to the same register,
  and if another CPU tries to do something else with our selected
  register, then the result will be a catastrophe.
- Allow the PCI API to have a united form around a shared object which
  actually holds much more data than the PCI::Address structure. This is
  fundamental if we want to do certain types of optimizations, and be
  able to support more features of the PCI bus in the foreseeable
  future.

This patch already has several implications:
- All PCI::Device(s) hold a reference to a DeviceIdentifier structure
  being given originally from the PCI::Access singleton. This means that
  all instances of DeviceIdentifier structures are located in one place,
  and all references are pointing to that location. This ensures that
  locking the operation spinlock will take effect in all the appropriate
  places.
- We no longer support adding PCI host controllers and then immediately
  allow for enumerating it with a lambda function. It was found that
  this method is extremely broken and too much complicated to work
  reliably with the new paradigm being introduced in this patch. This
  means that for Volume Management Devices (Intel VMD devices), we
  simply first enumerate the PCI bus for such devices in the storage
  code, and if we find a device, we attach it in the PCI::Access method
  which will scan for devices behind that bridge and will add new
  DeviceIdentifier(s) objects to its internal Vector. Afterwards, we
  just continue as usual with scanning for actual storage controllers,
  so we will find a corresponding NVMe controllers if there were any
  behind that VMD bridge.

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

You can watch videos of the system being developed on YouTube:
