Yep. Though, I don't bother with exporting symbols that neither ahci (PCI driver) nor platform driver need. Later we might export some more for mv/acard-ahci... > I'm not overly picky about file naming.

So in these series: - I kept PCI driver in ahci.c (built as ahci.ko); - Moved generic code into libahci.{c,h} (built as libahci.ko) Also in these series: - Rebased on top of linux-next (the patches also apply onto the current Linus' git tree, fwiw). - Dropped sparse fixes patch, as the issue appears to be already fixed in linux-next. - Addressed Sergei's comments on ahci_platform driver.
