My take is that JC's aim is to get this four patch series reviewed and
merged (which is *not* sufficient to get ACPI PCI to work fully on ARM64
- see cover letter - the remaining patches in his branch are not
fixes, it is code that is required to get things to work, these 4
patches stand alone are not sufficient but I understand he wants to get
them reviewed following feedback on the lists) so that we can make
progress on ACPI PCI on ARM64.

I will comment on the patches as soon as I have time to review
them, I certainly would like to understand what we have to do with the
rest of the code though (provided this series is good to go) see above.
