I love the fact that you're doing so much cleanup.  Thanks for all the
work in this!

Obviously all this code is quite sensitive, so I put it on
pci/resource to get more exposure in -next.  If it turns out that we
trip over things or just don't feel comfortable yet for v6.18, we can
always defer this part until the next cycle.

I will also watch for acks from the m68k, mips, and sparc maintainers
for those pieces.
