Right, thanks for spotting it.

ppc64 is also missing PCI_CACHE_LINE_SIZE so pci_set_cacheline_size()
can't be built as-is.  BTW, on x86, pci_cache_line_size isn't
configured like other pci devices on many machines, which doesn't harm
correctness but still...  CLS being the same for all devices coming
down from the same root bridge, maybe we can do away with the current
logic and just take it from the upstream pci bridge?

Thanks.
