In V2 part of the PCI code (pci-loongson.c) has moved to
drivers/pci/controllers. For pci.c and acpi.c, I agree that "the thing
should be like that", but have some different ideas about "the way to
arrive at that". In my opinion, we can let this series be merged at
first, and then do another series to "restructure the files and move
common parts to the drivers directory". That way looks more natural to
me (doing the other series at first may block the whole thing).
