We already _have_ a lot of common code in drivers/pci, but it's not compiled in for x86 or ia64. some other architectures don't assign PCI resources in the `BIOS' so we get to do it. setup-bus.c, setup-res.c and setup-irq.c all seem to duplicate some part of the code currently found in each and every hotplug driver. -- Revolutions do not require corporate support.
