I still prefer the destid as the single identification id.
In your patch you allocate individual destid for switches. This method
has two problems:
1. The destid for the switch needs an additional mechanism to share it
among processors in the RIO network,
? See comment for 2)
2. It takes ID value away from the pool of available IDs, what will
It does not take an ID away, it shares it with a connected endpoint to
that switch. The tag uses one extra bit to identify the device as a
switch instead of an endpoint. This provides the information to
unambiguously identify a switch from an endpoint.
