Hi Jiang,

Thanks for pointing me on the right answer, I've missed that series!
Probably not the best place to comment on that series here, but I
wonder why did you not made the pci_controller structure available
in a more generic header file that can be included so that arches
don't have to redefine the structure every time. After all, you are
trying to consolidate things.

Oh, and pci_controller name throws a lot of false negatives, maybe
a more specific one (acpi_pci_controller?) would make things clear?

Best regards,
Liviu
