    thunderbolt: Add support for full PCIe daisy chains · 99cabbb0
    Mika Westerberg authored
    Currently the software connection manager (tb.c) has only supported
    creating a single PCIe tunnel, no PCIe device daisy chaining has been
    supported so far. This updates the software connection manager so that
    it now can create PCIe tunnels for full chain of six devices.
    
    Because PCIe allows DMA and opens possibility for DMA attacks we change
    security level to "user" meaning that PCIe tunneling requires that the
    userspace authorizes the devices first. This makes it possible to block
    PCIe tunneling completely while still allowing other types of tunnels to
    be automatically created.
