Agreed, that seems simple enough. Ideally these should even
be removable modules, not just single-load but unremovable.

Doing that may require changes to the cadence PCIe host
code if that does not support unloading yet (I have not
checked), but should not require any changes to the core
PCIe host code that supports loadable/removable modules.
