Here too. I think we should really try to let all PCI host drivers be
loadable modules if possible. The module unload path is currently
a bit iffy because of the way it interacts with the arch/arm PCI
infrastructure, but we are in the process of fixing it.

For now, I think allowing all PCIe host drivers for ARM to be
loadable but non-removably modules would be ideal.
