We had tighter dependencies on x86 in earlier revisions of this driver. It
probably now looks more sensible to be in drivers/pci/host instead of
arch specific.

Do you want us to make this change and resend the series? Or can we

BTW, we completed tests with your pci/host-vmd branch, and that was
successful.
