Some uncore counters may be located in the configuration space of a PCI device, which already has a bonded driver. Currently, the uncore driver cannot register a PCI uncore PMU for these counters, because, to register a PCI uncore PMU, the uncore driver must be bond to the device. However, one device can only have one bonded driver. Add an uncore PCI sub driver to support such kind of devices. The sub driver doesn't own the device. In initialization, the sub driver searches the device via pci_get_device(), and register the corresponding PMU for the device. In the meantime, the sub driver registers a PCI bus notifier, which is used to notify the sub driver once the device is removed. The sub driver can unregister the PMU accordingly. The sub driver only searches the devices defined in its id table. The id table varies on different platforms, which will be implemented in the following platform-specific patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
