To be precise, everything under #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI_PCI_HOST_GENERIC or
equivalent is de facto ARM64-specific, because (as it stands in the
patch series) ARM64 is the only architecture that will select that
option.  Unless you are aware of any more architectures planning to
use ACPI (and I'm not aware of any), it will stay the only
architecture selecting it in the foreseeable future.

Therefore you could replace CONFIG_ACPI_PCI_HOST_GENERIC with
CONFIG_ARM64 everywhere in that code which is why in my opinion the
code should live somewhere under arch/arm64/.

Going forward, it should be possible to identify common parts of the
PCI host bridge configuration code in arch/ and move it to
drivers/acpi/ or drivers/pci/, but I bet that won't be the entire code
this series puts under CONFIG_ACPI_PCI_HOST_GENERIC.

The above leads to a quite straightforward conclusion about the order
in which to do things: I'd add ACPI support for PCI host bridge on
ARM64 following what's been done on ia64 (as x86 is more quirky and
kludgy overall) as far as reasonably possible first and then think
about moving common stuff to a common place.

Pretty much as stated above. :-)

Thanks,
