This looks like it breaks all these when CONFIG_PCI=n.  In that case,
we would avoid building the PCI supporting files.  However, with your
merged files, we build it anyway and end up with undefined calls to
the PCI subsystem.

The code is separated to avoid that, and to avoid ifdefs.

I'm not entirely sure what the point of this patch set is, because it
mostly just moves the code into one file per platform and doesn't
consolidate anything between the platforms themselves.
