btw., this is how arch/x86/pci/Makefile looks like now in tip/master:

----------------------------------------->
pci-y                           := fixup.o
pci-$(CONFIG_ACPI)              += acpi.o
pci-y                           += legacy.o irq.o

pci-$(CONFIG_X86_VISWS)         += visws.o

pci-$(CONFIG_X86_NUMAQ)         += numa.o

obj-y                           += $(pci-y) common.o early.o
obj-y                           += amd_bus.o
<-----------------------------------------

it's _really_ clean now, and we dont have those weird overrides anymore. 
Both VisWS and NUMAQ are now two straightforward runtime PCI overrides - 
not build-time complications. Much more maintainable i think.
