I suppose we  need to build the kernel twice. one for vop_host  (on host
with pci enabled) and the
other is for vop_fsl ( on agent with pci disabled). Is it possible to
build one image for both host and 
agent.  We do not scan the pci bus if the controller is configured to
agent.

Also, is it possible to include mpc85xx architecture? They should be
same.
There is some code for 85xx in Fresscale BSP.
