I think the appropriate workaround for Tegra in 3.6 is to simply make
any drivers for PCIe-based devices be modules instead of built-in, as
Thierry hinted at much earlier in the thread. I've validated that the
Ethernet works just fine on TrimSlice with that change, booting v3.6-rc1
using either board files or device tree.

For 3.7, we should continue the discussion about a real fix; I'll look
into the change Bjorn requested and see if it works, although given that
hacking pci_scan_root_bus as described immediately previously in this
thread caused a regression when booting using a board file, and the fact
that board files are no longer supported on Tegra, I'm not too confident
in the outcome...
