Platform dependant.
The pre1 code fails if:
You use the mmio ops not the pio ops on a big endian box (except PPC)
Your pci_resource_foo() returns a value with the top 32bit used
Both of those are fixed in Marcelo's tree, although platforms may need
to define some functions. Dave has the updated code running on sparc64
