Hi Shuai,

Really a question for Bjorn I think, but here is my 2 cents...

The problem here is that we need to do that fundamental redesign of the
way the PCI ports drivers work.  I'm not sure there is a path to merging
this until that is done.  The bigger problem is that I'm not sure anyone
is actively looking at that yet.  I'd like to look at this (as I have
the same problem for some other drivers), but it is behind various
other things on my todo list.

Bjorn might be persuaded on a temporary solution, but that would come
with some maintenance problems, particularly when we try to do it
'right' in the future.  Maybe adding another service driver would be
a stop gap as long as we know we won't keep doing so for ever. Not sure.

Jonathan
