Russell,

Thanks for your quick feedback!

So, you'd prefer to have two new members added in the hw_pci structure
to give the alignment requirements for I/O regions and memory regions?

Something like:

struct hw_pci {
	[...]
	unsigned long io_align;
	unsigned long mem_align;
};

If that's fine with you, I'll go ahead and change the implementation in
this direction. As long as I can express my special 64 KB alignment
requirement for I/O regions, I'm just fine :-)

Thanks again,

Thomas
