We are close to branching 4.11, but I think there may be value in
merging the patch set for 4.11. Would it be acceptable to all if we
made the new PCI lib and drvmgr conditional only for the sparc? Then
we can deal with the namespace issues and resolving any other quirks
in the next release series. I worry about bringing them in with
potential issues in their public interfaces, but if we don't guarantee
API compliance for them across releases then it is not an issue. Plus,
most users who want these things currently would have problems with
backwards-compat if we change some things, since they would have been
using the RCC release.
