RE: [RFC PATCH 1/2] PCI: generic: remove dependency on hw_pci

 Hello! I decided to have a voice here.
 I am currently working on a virtualization project, and i have made some
experimental additions to PCI-Generic code which enable PCI-X support. I
wanted to upstream this, but as far as i can see, you are refactoring
everything here.
 Personally i think that pci_common_init_dev() is a good thing and it should
not be removed. Even more, perhaps it needs to be expanded with PCI-X
support. My current code adds a piece very similar to
mvebu_pcie_msi_enable(), which reads "msi-parent" property and then calls
of_pci_find_msi_chip_by_node().
 MVEBU driver then fills in hw.msi_ctrl with the obtained pointer and calls
pci_common_init(), which is the same as pci_common_init_dev(NULL, hw). My
modified Generic driver now does the same. So, the question is - may be we
should extract "msi-parent" handling from MVEBU and move it into
pci_common_init_dev() ?
 Just IMHO copy-pasting this function over and over again in all drivers is
a bad idea.

 And one more. pci_common_init_dev() currently does not assign bus->msi,
therefore IRQ domain operations do not work. I have fixed this too, but
perhaps it's another story...
