Leon (I also work @ FSL) and we don't have any work going on right now
to cleanup the PCIe patches.
The reason they aren't in the kernel is the mechanism used to do PCIe
config cycles is not acceptable for kernel.org. The issue is that the
code ioremaps a huge address space (128M if I remember). The code
should look at doing a sliding window and only use 4k of address space.
