Yes, I think that is a good idea in general. Especially
now that we have separate the ARM code from pci_common_init_dev
and pci_sys_data, that can help with cleanups in the other drivers
as well.

I see two common variations in other subsystems: some use a
special alloc() function that you pass the size of the private
data into, while others just expect you to embed a structure
inside of the driver specific one allocate that separately to
have the generic registration function fill out the common fields.

I have a slight preference for the second, but they are really
the same thing basically.
