Yes, I know that. All of them use plat-versatile though, which is where
the common code sits.

All the code I added is either specific to the xilinx PCI implementation
or specific to one of the boards (pb926, pb1176, eb).

I don't expect any conflicts besides my patch 5/7, which will get obsoleted
by your patch. If you apply both series, we should be able to enable
both Xilinx and NEC PCI support on mach-realview and have it work
on all the boards.
