In reference to the PCI spec (Chapter 2), PCIBIOS* is an x86 concept.
Their scope should be limited within arch/x86.

Change all PCIBIOS_SUCCESSFUL to 0

Could you please tell me what difference this makes? It looks like 
source churn rather than a substantive change. The symbol is defined 
in pci.h and is used in many architures. Certainly, PCIBIOS_SUCCESSFUL 
indicates success even more clearly than 0 does.
It is a trivial first step towards a probably significant task. I 
explained in the Cover Letter, I can see it didn't get through but I Cc 
linux-wireless (properly this time). Probably, too many addresses.

I have resent it. It is here

Why is your name inside quotes in your s-o-b?
To keep me company before I get to know my way within the kernel.

I saw people with >2 names do it, so I did! Please let me know if it is odd.

Thank you.
