Neat.  How well does it work?

Ahem.

  /* Do NOT directly access these two variables, unless you are arch specific pci
   * code, or pci core code. */
  extern struct list_head pci_root_buses;	/* list of all known PCI buses */
  extern struct list_head pci_devices;	/* list of all devices */

I think it would be kinder to the API to use pci_find_device(PCI_ANY_ID,
PCI_ANY_ID, ...) here.

This will generate a CPP warning if CONFIG_SMP is not defined.

	#elif defined(CONFIG_SMP)

would be preferred.

	for (i = 0; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {

Could we have a bit more description of what this function does, and why we
need it?

Should other kexec-using architectures be using this?  If not, why does
ia64 need it?

Thanks.
