Thanks! With that ACK, the series is ACKed.


This is the last piece of the "Use PCIe instead of legacy PCI on 
machinetypes with a PCIe root bus" that hasn't been pushed. DV already 
cut RV1 for the next release, but allowed that it seems innocuous enough 
to push these patches before rc2 (thus putting the entire feature into a 
single release, rather than part of it):

so I'm going to push the seriestoday (RC2 will be cut tomorrow)
