I am sure that patch is disgustingly primitive and can make it to
upstream in just one click and the rest of the series will take more
time anyway (always does :) ).

There are few changes in spapr_pci so conflicts are possible, every time
when David updates his tree and I rebase I get some minor ones.

Agrh. How exactly do you make them errors, not warnings? I get no
warning/error with --disable-werror but not having  --disable-werror
prints warnings, not errors so it does not fail the build and easy to miss.

I think so.
