Hrm... pci_config_lock is specific to arch/i386 it seems (and is even
a static in 2.4.19rc3). That is no good as this isn't the only
driver to do config access from interrupts, so at least PPC is
broken in this regard.
Wouldn't it make sense to generalize it and implement it on all archs ?
(That is move extern declaration of it to linux/pci.h, definition to
drivers/pci/pci.c, and so on...)
I'd rather have a per-host lock, but on the other hand, the host bus
mecanism is still quite arch-specific, thus making difficult to use
a per-host lock in drivers, at least in 2.4
