In a later change we will first collect all PCI functions from the CLP List PCI functions call, then register them to/creating the relevant zbus. Then only after we've created our virtual bus structure will we scan all zbusses iterating over the zbus list. Since scanning is relatively slow a spinlock is a bad fit for protecting the loop over the devices on the zbus. Furthermore doing the probing on the bus we need to use pci_lock_rescan_remove() as devices are added to the PCI subsystem and that is a mutex which can't be locked nested inside a spinlock section. Note that the contention of this lock should be very low either way as zbusses are only added/removed concurrently on hotplug events.

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.
