PowerPC uses structure pci_controller to describe PCI controller, but
ARM uses structure pci_sys_data. In order to support PowerPC and ARM
simultaneously, the patch adds a structure fsl_pci that contains most
of the members of the pci_controller and pci_sys_data.
Meanwhile, it defines a interface fsl_arch_sys_to_pci() which should
be implemented in architecture-specific PCI controller driver to
convert pci_controller or pci_sys_data to fsl_pci.

NAK.

We discussed this some at the ARM Summit this week and the feeling is we
need to move to a common interface between the various ARCHs.

Can you share more about the *common interface*?
Any plan to implement the  * common interface*?
Thanks.
