Hello,

Could somebody, please, explain me what arch/mips/pci* stuff is for? My
understanding is drivers/pci code shall setup everything except proper
placing in PCI MEM/IO spaces and irqs. The code in arch/mips/pci*
contains much more.

Anyway, drivers/pci code provides enough fixup interface, doesn't it ?

BTW, if the code in arch/mips/pci* is really required how about
fine-grained placing, like in sparc64?

Regards,
Gleb.
