I have been concentrating on the ECAM code and ECAM based ACPI
host controller, the rest of the code is from Tomasz original patchset.

I am not happy with the way the ACPI quirk handling is done in Tomasz's
current patchset. I believe that it has to be done in a separate patchset
with another set of discussions. It introduces additional complexity and
mixing that discussion with the ECAM one will not help in making progress.

I hope things will be clearer when more maintainers chime in. When
there is clarity on if the ECAM split is fine, I think we can look at how
to drive the whole patchset forward, otherwise we are back to square one.

Not having ACPI/PCI support upstream is a huge problem for us too...
