QEMU community requires additional PCI devices to simulate PVPANIC devices so that some architectures can not occupy precious less than 4G of memory space. Previously, I added PCI driver directly to the original version of the driver, which made the whole driver file look a bit cluttered. So Andy Shevchenko suggests: "I would recommend to split it in a way how it's done for ChipIdea USB driver, for example. (drivers/usb/chipidea if I'm not mistaken)".
