Adding PCI-E support to this driver added an astounding 3000+ lines to 
the driver.  I asked Roy to pare it back, but it was still pretty 
huge.   If this size increase is a serious issue, I support backing this 
patch out and refactoring it to include only the features that are 
necessary for a bootloader.
