Hi Bjorn,
	My original plan was to follow x86 implementation, but found there's
a race condition with current "pci_set_host_bridge_release()" design. 
	So the IA64 version is implemented in the way to fix the design flaw 
related to pci_set_host_bridge_release(). I will send out another patches to
fix the design flaw and to enhance x86 version to follow IA64.

Over defensive, will remove it.
