Hi Arnd,

Thanks again for the comments.

Can do. Should I enforce this in the driver too? (i.e. complain if
non-prefetchable memory is absent).

Yes, and that will be important given your comments later on.

Agreed. arm64 is the obvious next target (once Liviu's series is sorted out
-- I'm currently using a simplified port of bios32.c for testing).

Ha, at least I managed to come up with the same struct! I'll move to the
generic version.

Sure. Also, if we kill nr_controllers, then we can have a simple I/O space
allocator to populate the offset.

That aside, I just took a spin_lock so this needs fixing regardless. The
only solution I can think of then is to map all of the buses at setup time
(making bus_ranges pretty important) and hope that I don't chew through all
of vmalloc.

I'll take a look. If we get rid of nr_controllers, as suggested later on,
the line between probe and setup is somewhat blurred.

Makes sense once there are no users of the field.
