I think the major decision is whether to maintain the pci_mmcfg_list
for all architectures or not. My initial plan was not to do this because
of the mess (basically the ECAM region info should be attached to
the pci root and not maintained in a separate list that needs locking),
The patch I posted initially https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/553464/
had a much simpler way of handling the MCFG table without using
the list.

In x86 case it is not feasible to remove using the pci_mmcfg_list.
The only use of it outside is in xen that can be fixed up.

I had a similar approach in my initial patchset, please see the patch
above. The resource for ECAM is mapped similar to the the way
pci-host-generic.c handled it. An additional step I could do was to
move the common code (ioremap and mapbus) into a common
file and share the code with pci-host-generic.c

There is an overhead of looking up this table, and the information
available there is very limited (i.e, segment, start_bus, end_bus
and address). My approach in the above patch is to save this info
into an array at boot time and avoid multiple lookups.

I can update this patch to
 -  drop the pci_mmcfg_list handling from generic case
 -  move common ECAM code so that it can be shared with
    pci-host-generic.c
if that is what you are looking for. The code will end up looking much
simpler.

Thanks,
JC.
