Hi All,
Can we support PCIE driver as loadable module instead of including it in kernel?

I think it should work with current code. But, You will have to keep
all PCIe device (ep/card) driver also as module, and they must be
inserted only after host (RC) driver module.

Um, care to explain why?
I think the bus probing should only happen once the RC driver is there.
It shouldn't matter if device drivers are already registered at this
stage, their probe function will only be called when the bus gets
populated.
