The PCI core provides a generic (__weak) 'pcibios_setup()' routine
that can be used by all architectures as a default.  Drop tile's
architecture specific version in favor of that as it does not need to be
over-ridden.

In our internal tree we have x86-like support for "pci=off" here.  When I
push that I can just push it as a new function to override the removed one,
so I'm happy with your change as proposed.  But perhaps it would make sense
to move the support for "pci=off" to common code, since multiple
architectures handle this the same way?

Yes, that should be fine.  Just an FYI - when you introduce the
over-ride, I believe that it should be __init and not __devinit as the
previous tile version of 'pcibios_setup()' was.

Looking at the tree I only see three of the architectures currently
using/implementing "pci=off" (four with the 'tile' addition).  Perhaps
there is a way to avoid such but it seems like adding this to the core
would require introducing the global variable 'pci_probe' which seems
like unnecessary pollution?

I'd argue that the core might expose a pci_probing_disabled() function that
returns whether "pci=off" was seen, and modify the other architectures that
already support pci_probe to call that function instead.  It's true that
x86 has a much more elaborate use of pci_probe than the other
architectures, which means x86 would probably want to keep the variable
as-is and just call pci_probing_disabled() to set pci_probe to zero and return.

All that said, I'm not volunteering to make this change, so if it doesn't
seem right to you, I certainly won't insist. :-)
