I'd like to avoid that patch for now as I'm doing some changes to pci_process_bridge_OF_ranges which are fairly urgent (I might even stick them in the current merge window) to deal with memory windows having separate offsets. There's also a few hacks in there that are really ppc specific... I think the right long term approach is to change the way powerpc (and microblaze ?) initializes PCI host bridges. Move it away from setup_arch() (which is a PITA anyway since it's way too early) to an early init call of some sort, and encapsulate the new struct pci_host_bridge. We can then directly configure the host bridge windows rather than having this "intermediary" set of resources in our pci_controller and in fact move most of the fields from pci_controller to pci_host_bridge to the point where the former can remain as a simple platform specific wrapper if needed. So for new stuff (hint: DT based ARM PCI) or stuff that has to deal with a lot less archaic platforms (hint: Microblaze), I'd recommend going straight for that approach rather than perpetuating the PowerPC code which I'll try to deal with in the next few monthes.
