I think a better approach would be to create a cleanly architected
arch-independent driver.  Share what you reasonably can with the current
fsl_pci.c, but not to the extent of propagating PPCisms that don't match
up with what we ultimately want to see in generic code, or copying
things that ought to be controller-independent infrastructure into
controller-specific code.

I believe this should be:
	fsl_hw_pcie.private_data = pcie;

What serializes that non-atomic increment?
