[PATCH 0/5] Modularize PCI_DW related drivers.

[Paul Gortmaker]

In a recent patch series that aimed to remove code related to module
unload for PCI support that was simply non modular, the discussion
led to people wanting to keep the code and push towards taking the
steps needed to support moving it towards tristate instead[1].

Here, we take step one, which is simply making the Kconfig change
and then dealing with any build fallout or modpost fallout.  What
amounts to essentially a sanity build test.  To be clear, these
have not been runtime validated; that will need to be done by those
with access to real hardware.  However, the changes are not anything
that should disrupt any existing built-in validation, so real world
users should not be impacted by this change.

We start with a smaller family of drivers; those that actively select
PCI_DW, as a nice self contained group to test the waters and see if
everyone is still good with this approach before investing more time
on a wider scale to other pci/host/ code blocks.

As such the drivers here share a dependency on having the same group
of functions exported in order to successfully complete modpost.

In addition, we have to stray outside drivers/pci to add exports
in two places; once for an ARM fault handler, and once for an OF
variable.

The pci-keystone-dw.c instance was handled separately because it
consists of two source files that need their own group of driver
specific exports above and beyond the "shared" ones.

Then we convert the Kconfig for all remaining at once; we could have
done it on a per driver basis for ease of revert if anyone really
objects, but since it would be a one line change, that seemed like
not a real concern.

Build testing was done on the linux-next tree for arm allmodconfig.
