Yes it. There are some things which we had fixed because that powerpc
port is big endian only and we support PCIe on little endian too.
But changes are really cosmetic.

Ben: Are you willing to move that ppc code to this location?
It is probably not good idea that I should do it when I even don't have
hardware available for testing (Asking someone else).
