PCI support

[Dan Taylor]

The code would have to be added in one or two places.  First, update
the PCI code in .../linux/arch/ppc/kernel; your hardware may be like
a sandpoint, but could be chrp.  If, as I suspect, the PowerSPAN is
NOT a transparent PCI-PCI bridge, you will also need to modify the
.../linux/drivers/pci/pci.c code that handles child busses.  I usually
put an "else if" inside the "for" loop after "pcibios_fixup_bus()".
That way the existing code handles any transparent bridges, then I can
specify an implementation-dependent bridge, either by bus & device, by
checking checking the vendor and device IDs, or both.  You have to do
all of the same things that the transparent bridge does, so just copy,
paste, and edit the code inside that "if".  You need to have the kernel
code done first, since that will have the config cycle handling and
memory/io space mapping.
