In the interest of getting something merged, can I suggest you
(Jayachandran) repost the patches with Lorenzo's suggestions to reorder
the series and split up the setup-irq compilation into a separate patch?

You can also add his ack to this patch.

It's a pity that the code isn't quite how we'd like it to end up, but
this at least enables people for 4.3 and I know that Lorenzo is working
on tidying up the loose ends as additional patches (but he's on holiday
this week). That includes removal of the PROBE_ONLY bodge that I've got
queued in arch/arm64/kernel/pci.c.

Bjorn, does that sound ok to you? I'm keen to have something working, as
I'm starting to get beaten up about the lack of generic PCI on arm64.

Cheers,

Will
