The Problem

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.
This still does not solve the problem that some devices makes sense only on a specific arch.
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 [...]
