Hm, there's one patch in that lot that does:

 drivers/pci/bus.c	 |    8 +++++++-
 drivers/pci/probe.c     |    8 ++++++--
 drivers/pci/setup-bus.c |   40 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------
 3 files changed, 44 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-)

Which should go via the PCI tree.

I can set up an isolated x86/pci-gap topic that i'll send to Jesse 
to pull (once it looks to be stable), as the other patches modify 
the e820 code which we'd like to test in the x86 tree first.

Jesse, Linus, Yinghai, does that look like a good plan to you?
