Definitely not ACK for [PATH 1/6] because it breaks Microblaze PCI compilation.
Rob removed some parts from microblaze pci-bridge.h and didn't move them to 
generic location or keep them in it. Also didn't remove PCI 
bits(PCI_REASSIGN..., etc) from microblaze header. I have attached changed patch 
with Microblaze part.

I would also prefer to add to this patch fixes for PPC too. Microblaze pci code 
comes from PPC that's why will be the best to fix PPC in the same patch.
There should be one more patch for ppc which rename ppc_pci_flags to pci_flags + 
functions and bits

 From my point of view make sense do these patches.
1. (s/ppc_pci_flags/pci_flags/g) + (s/ppc_pci_/pci_/g) + (s/PPC_PCI_/PCI_/g)
2. introduce new asm-generic/pci-bridge.h with changes for microblaze and ppc
3. all others patches

Thanks,
Michal
