Hi all,

We are in the process of putting PCI/PCIe into the microblaze
architecture.  

In order to not duplicate/fork the PCI code in Powerpc, we're
proposing to move the PCI code from arch/powerpc into drivers/of such
that it would be common code for Powerpc and MicroBlaze.

This would be the 1st part of a refactoring that would occur with the
PCI code.

Ben H., would you mind if that happened (move arch/powerpc/kernel/pci*
to drivers/of/*)?

Dave and Ben have been talking about this for awhile; seems like a good
excuse to do it.  IIRC they had even thought about just dumping the
code directly into drivers/pci so that API updates won't get missed...
