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...
Depends which part. Not -all- of our PCI code as John seems to want. The bits that generate PCI devices from the device-tree, for sure, though again, even there, there are quite a few dependencies on constructs and data structures that are powerpc specific, or even ppc64 specific in some cases, and that would have to be cleaned up and/or abstracted first. Cheers, Ben.
