My concerns/ideas related to raw accessors for ARM64, please correct me 
at any point.

ACPI spec - chapter: 19.5.96 OperationRegion (Declare Operation Region)
defines PCI_Config as one of region types. Every time ASL opcode 
operates on corresponding PCI config space region, ASL interpreter is 
dispatching address space to our raw accessors, please see 
acpi_ex_pci_config_space_handler, acpi_ev_pci_config_region_setup calls. 
What is more important, such operations may happen after (yes after) bus 
enumeration, but always raw accessors are called at the end with the 
{segment, bus, dev, fn} tuple.

Giving above, here are some ideas:
1. We force somehow vendors to avoid operations on PCI config regions in 
ASL code. PCI config region definitions still fall into Hardware Reduced 
profile, so new ACPICA special subset for ARM64 is need. Then raw ACPI 
accessors can be empty (and overridden by x86).
2. We provide raw accessors which translate {segment, bus, dev, fn} 
tuple to Linux generic accessors (this can be considered only if PCI 
config accesses happened after bus enumeration for HR profile, thus 
tuple to bus structure map is possible).
4. We rely on the generic MCFG based raw read and writes.

Let me know your opinion.

Thanks,
Tomasz
