I will also prefix some routines with mpc86xx_ to avoid
the generic names problems.  But I'm not sure which other
platforms you expect this one kernel image to run on.
Specifically, this pcie code is very similar to the 8548
family, but not exactly the same.

My understanding is that we are shooting for a single 86xx
family kernel image here, with this 8641 HPCN platform being
the first such port.

I will s/pex/pcie/g and rename files accordingly.
