Hi Liviu,
It's a trade-off. Once I tried to rename it too, but gave up
later. There are several reasons to keep it as is:
1) Several architectures define pci_controller to support PCI
root bus.
2) struct pci_controller is a generic concept, I guess, and ACPI code
extends pci_controller to host some ACPI specific data on IA64 and
x86.
3) It will cause big code changes if we rename pci_controller to
something else.
Thanks!
