I suggested to split the patch in two in a private review that we
did on the linaro mailing list. I gave my Ack because the split
was done, but I failed to notice that it was done differently
from what I suggested in

I agree that breaking bisectibility by ripping out the PCI code
first is not good. The version 2 is not actually easier to review
at all than the first version, it just splits the changes by
file, which is pointless.
