jgarzik/misc-2.6.git#pciseg has my only outstanding PCI stuff, which is 
a small x86[-64] PCI domain support patch.  Mostly unrelated to the 
thread at hand, alas, even though it was touching that area.

I need to a few changes required by Andi, who made several good points, 
then the PCI domains thing should be ready for upstream.  I don't care 
much who merges it, you, Andi or me.

As I recall, some NUMA folks hacked in my damage (storing numa node in 
x86's new struct pci_sysdata), noted and fixed additional fallout, and 
added their own damage for good measure :)
