If we go on thinking about that - I would prefer place the code - without the magick key ;) - 
in kirkwood_pcie_init()?
It will affect later or sooner more kirkwood boards if people switch form marvell stock u-boot
to mainline u-boot.
What do you think about that?

to [2]:
Hm, is this really right? Why is there a function called openrd_base_pci_init() which is inside a file
called openrd_base-setup.c and this function is called on a sheevaplug?

I couldn't believe that (but to be honest I don't know it!).
The 2 board do still have different machnumbers, right?
I've expected that these machnumbers are to determine
which board / hardware the kernel / u-boot is running.
Isn't this the case?

sounds reasonable
