Question: Is there a reason this driver should be in drivers/pci/?

It doesn't use any internal PCI core interfaces, e.g., it doesn't
include drivers/pci/pci.h, and AFAICT it's really just a driver for a
PCI device that happens to be a switch.

I don't really *care* that it's in drivers/pci; I rely on Kurt and
Logan to review changes.  The only problem it presents for me is that
I have to write merge commit logs for the changes.  You'd think that
would be trivial, but since I don't know much about the driver, it
does end up being work for me.
