That's to forward the change reported from the parent bus. In fact, PCI
does not allow pin routing changes once the device is plugged. The only
change can come from the host bridge's configuration.

So there are two types of users:
 - the host bridge after internal configuration changes
 - a PCI-PCI bridge to forward the notification to its children

That's the old name, I've sent v2 where the commitlog was fixed.

See above, the cached part of the route is static anyway. What changes
is the host bridge configuration.

The notification must be forwarded to any secondary bus because any
device below can have a notifier registered. And I think recursion is
the cleaner approach for this as we can have complex topologies.
