What I can propose is that I accumulate in a branch all the patches
needed to solve the various PCIe/Mbus problems we've identified:

 * Your patch adding warnings to the mvebu-mbus driver
 * Willy's patch fixing the off-by-one on the size
 * Neil's patch fixing the MSI teardown function
 * My two patches fixing the rest of the MSI logic
 * And patches to come for the link problem, and the cutting of
   non-power-of-two BARs into power-of-two windows

This way, everybody will be able to test than in his specific
hardware situations, the patches are solving all the problems. Then I
can take care of formally submitting those patches to the relevant
maintainers, of course keeping the authorship as appropriate.

How does that sound?
