    Hi Arnd,

    I like this idea very much and welcome the timing. After the longer than
    expected XUSB detour I was going to look at PCI next. Making the driver
    work on both 32-bit and 64-bit ARM is the first thing that needs solving
    but once that's in place it should be fairly trivial to add support for
    Tegra X1 on top.

    From a quick glance I think this series is a really good starting point.
    I had a couple of questions, but I'll ask them as replies to each patch
    for context.
