Question: Is there a reason this driver should be in drivers/pci/?
It doesn't use any internal PCI core interfaces, e.g., it doesn't
include drivers/pci/pci.h, and AFAICT it's really just a driver for a
PCI device that happens to be a switch.
I don't really *care* that it's in drivers/pci; I rely on Kurt and
Logan to review changes. The only problem it presents for me is that
I have to write merge commit logs for the changes. You'd think that
would be trivial, but since I don't know much about the driver, it
does end up being work for me.
