Oh, maybe my previous email wasn't clear, but I'd say that detection is
already separate from ZONE_DEVICE. Nothing really needs to be changed.
I just think you'll probably want to write you're own function similar
to pci_p2pdma_distance that perhaps just takes two pci_devs instead of
the list of clients as is needed by nvme-of-like users.

To enable a whitelist we just have to handle the case where
upstream_bridge_distance() returns -1 and check if the devices are in
the same root complex with supported root ports before deciding the
transaction is not supported.
