Well.. Actually PCI(e) has no dependency on ARM64 architecture. This
patch is required only because of current Linux structure. Hence
Liviu's effort to take PCI(e) out of 'arch' makes sense.

In my experience, I don't think any arch specific changes are required
in u-boot. At least I don't recall making any specific changes in
u-boot pci layer. However we don't really have a big use case for PCIe
in u-boot. It just links up and lists the devices discovered during
enumeration.
