Makes sense. I'm also thinking if we should change the tree in PCI ENDPOINT SUBSYSTEM to git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git or maybe git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lpieralisi/pci.git/? since most of the endpoint patches also deals with modifying the controller drivers. Thanks Kishon
