raw_pci_read/write will use MMCONFIG code to access PCI config space. 
Please see my patch set:
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1411.2/02753.html
which is going to refactor the x86 specific code so it would be usable 
for ARM64 too.

We do, Cavium, AMD and APM boards have PCIe.

Me and Mark Salter have posted initial support for ACPI PCI probe:
