Hi.

If there were a noswizzle option to the kernel command line that
resulted in pci scan simply trusting that the bootrom/u-boot had  
already
correctly assigned the PCI irqs....  every tom,dick,harry, and
yours-truly wouldn't have to make a new platform to define the
swizzle-o-the-day.  Or have I already missed this argument?

Sure, I do this now.  Just don't build pci_auto into your pci support  
and don't explicitly rescan in your pci setup.  The 83xx pci code  
under arch/powerpc should effective do this.

Hmm; I must be missing something...  cuz to me it looks like pci_32.c
will allways call pcibios_init, which will will scan the bus, which will
swizzle irqs if the platform has non-null swizzle and map_irq function
pointers defined..  Perhaps a setting I've missed somewhere re.
'pci_auto', which I thought was a 'ppc' thing, not a 'powerpc' thing..??
