(I rebased these over HEAD 7b3c4f3)

These patches were initially part of Jan's original series on SoC
Framework ([1],[2]). An update to that series, without these patches,
was posted here [3].

Main motivation for these is aim of introducing a non-PCI centric
subsystem in EAL. As of now the first usecase is SoC, but not limited to
it.

4 patches in this series are independent of each other, as well as SoC
framework. All these focus on generalizing some structure or functions
present with the PCI specific code to EAL Common area (or splitting a
function to be more userful).

Those patches move linux specifics (binding pci devices using sysfs)
to common infrastucture.
We have no proper hotplug support on bsd, but if we had some common
code we should at least try to make the apis generic.
