Rob,

Are you able to take this patch now for 3.7, or should it be held off
until the Tegra PCIe driver is re-written and requires this
functionality (in which case I'd expect to take this through the Tegra
tree at that time).

For reference, it's at http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/173497/.

Thanks.
