... With Liviu's latest version (not posted) and with of_create_pci_host_bridge() function moved to of_pci.c, I don't think there is much new functionality added to drivers/pci/. What I think we need is clarifying the domain_nr patch (and API change) and more users of the new generic code. As you said, it doesn't need to be a separate architecture but rather existing pci host drivers under drivers/pci. Of course, other arch conversion should follow shortly as well but even without an immediate conversion, I don't see too much additional maintenance burden for the core PCIe code (and code sharing between new PCIe host drivers is even more beneficial).
Sorry, I haven't had time to follow this. It sounds like there are several pieces we could get out of the way easily. How about posting the actual patches again? Maybe re-order them so the easy pieces are first so they can get applied even if there are issues with later ones?
