Which PCI specification are you talking about here. In my "PCI Local

Hmmm. That seems to be a lot of changes to solve an essentially
theoretical problem (if a problem at all). I am not familiar enough
with the PCI subsystem to claim that it is fundamentally wrong, but
enough to say I'm skeptical.

PCI is a cross-architecture standard, and we can't possibly have the
return value of core functions such as pci_write_config_word follow
different conventions depending on the architecture, can we? Does
pci_write_config_word() currently return PCIBIOS_SUCCESSFUL on success
on x86 and 0 on success on other architectures? What about errors, do
we return positive, "PCIBIOS-specific" error codes on x86 and negative,
unix-like error codes on other architectures?

Unfortunately, the cover letter did not go through. I have resent it now:

Here is a discussion thread on it:

This leaves the code horribly aligned.

Sorry about that, lessons learnt.

Thank you for the review.
