Our decision to have hybrid PCI/PCIe devices and buses breeds
considerable complexity. I wish we had avoided them, but I believe it's
too late to change now.

Hi Markus,
Examples?
One quick example would be that we don't want to see
Intel's IOH 3420 PCIe Root Port in an ARM machine,
or a pxb on a Q35 machine (in this case we want pxb-pcie)
I do believe there are other examples, I'll try to think of more.
Thanks,
Marcel
