Agreed, but with this set you are forcing arm64 to define pci_controller
as pci_bus sysdata and I am not really keen on that, there are already
function calls in the arm64 pci layer that are there to make ACPI
compile and it is a bit annoying, instead of removing them we are
adding arch stuff on top.

How about passing a void* pointer (ie that is what pci_create_root_bus
expects) to acpi_pci_root_create through a member in acpi_pci_root_info
(I mean acpi_pci_root_info replaces the controller member with a void*
where you can add x86/ia64 pci_controller) ?

I understand this forces you to alloc the pci_controller in arch code,
but that's not a big deal right ? This way you can drop the
pci_controller struct from arm64 (I do not even know if it will ever
be needed, by looking at Hanjun's code, the bits of code that
need the pci_controller can be moved to generic PCI layer).

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/26/215

This way we can add the generic struct we discussed later
(pci_controller refactoring), I agree it is going to be a bigger
change but at least you do not force something into arm64 that we do
not even know if it is required.

Thanks anyway for putting this series together.
