Agreed, I like that, too. There is a little problem with cross-platform PCI hosts still because some portion of the interface is still arch specific, but I don't see this as a show-stopper for moving drivers there. The ARM specific drivers can still use the ARM interfaces for now, until everything is made generic. If they are going to be shared with other architectures, those can use the same interfaces that ARM has. I think Microblaze, ARC and Metag are strong candidates for doing this.
