In the meantime, you could have a kernel config option
selecting between "good new" and "bad old" ppc32 PCI
stack. At the very least it will make it easier for both
kernel and X people to test their stuff. Also it will
allow users to switch to the bad old but working stack
if things don't go too smoothly during the transition.
