To be clear about this, the pci/yinghai-survey-resources branch I
mentioned is a staging branch that just gets build test coverage. I
don't plan to actually merge this or put it into -next until the
questions below are resolved.

My inclination, until I'm persuaded otherwise, is to wait for patches
that preserve the similarities among these architectures.
