Oh, I agree. If we conduct a phased approach to this, what happens initially
is that the pci drivers simply pull pci_dev out of the struct device and use
it as previously.
However, I think the ultimate destination is to see how much of the bus
specific stuff we can abstract by throwing an API around it. I think IRQ,
port and mmio are feasible. Specific knowledge of bus posting et al may not
be.

Well...OK. The advantage of a pointer in struct device is that the code can
be converted as is, and no-one has to muck with the direct accessors of the
pci_dev->dma_mask. However, I'll see how many of them there actually are, its
probably just the drivers that transfer the information to
blk_queue_bounce_limit.

I thought the 53c700 was working OK? Richard Hirst did some extensive testing
on a parisc with an IO-MMU for me (he caught a lot of early mapping leaks
which I fixed).
