John, Stuart, could you please check if there is ongoing work in
Freescale? I hate double efforts when I'm short on time :-) Thanks.

Leon (I also work @ FSL) and we don't have any work going on right now  
to cleanup the PCIe patches.

The reason they aren't in the kernel is the mechanism used to do PCIe  
config cycles is not acceptable for kernel.org.  The issue is that the  
code ioremaps a huge address space (128M if I remember).  The code  
should look at doing a sliding window and only use 4k of address space.
