If you have an IP Core which talks AXI and you want to put it on a PCI bus, you will have a PCI Bus wrapper around that IP Core, so you should go and let the kernel know about that. See [1] for a core IP which talks AXI and [2] for a PCI bus glue layer. Besides, if you introduce this bus layer, it'll be more difficult for other licensees of the same core to re-use the same driver, since it's now talking a PCI emulated on top of AXI. The same can be achieved with the platform_bus which is more widely used, specially on ARM SoCs.
