If we take this series via the PCI tree we'd need Catalin/Will ACKs on
patches 3-4.

I need some time to look into [1] (thanks for that).

Without [1] patch 8 is ugly, that's no news. The question is whether
it is worth waiting for a kernel cycle to integrate [1] into this series
or not.

Is it really a problem if we postpone this series for another kernel
cycle so that we can look into it ?
