Is this comment incorrect?

I agree that this is more code duplication than I like, and we could
benefit from some refactoring. =A0However, I find 15 other places in
arch/powerpc that largely duplicate this pci initialization code.
That doesn't make a 16th right, but at least I'm in good company.=20
Yes, you're right. I was assuming that the code had been ported to
32 bit already, which was incorrect.

While I would very much like you (or someone else) to make it work,
it should not be a prerequisite to get your code merged in 2.6.22.

The one remaining comment I have about this one is that IMHO it
should be a separate file, mv64x60-pci.c instead of being
in the same file as the interrupt controller and other code.
