OK, I'm not sure where we are with this.  Ben listed arches where
the generic pci_enable_resources() should be safe: x86, alpha, and
powerpc.  I think we should also include ia64, since I work on that.

If there's no objection to those arches, how should we move forward?
Since Andrew put in "revert gregkh-pci" patches rather than just
dropping things, I assume the original patches are in Greg KH's tree.

Can we just drop the "revert gregkh" patches for x86, alpha, powerpc,
and ia64?

So powerpc is OK but ppc might not be?

I suppose Ben is the expert on that, and he did say he thought both
powerpc and ppc would be OK.  I think we just care less about ppc
because powerpc is the new converged one.

No, ppc should be fine too.

Cheers,

Considering that the generic is equivalent to what I have today on
powerpc, I'm fine with it.

Cheers,
Ben.

I think we should keep x86, alpha, powerpc, ppc, and ia64.

Kyle previously acked it for parisc, so maybe he can speak
up about whether to keep it there.

Ok, I've kept:
	x86
	alpha
	powerpc
	ppc
	parisc
	ia64

and dropped:
	arm
	cris
	frv
	mips
	mn10300
	sh
	sparc64
	v850
	xtensa

from my tree.

If anything further needs to be changed, please let me know.

thanks,
