cadd0126aa First cut at moving from v2 to v3.
There are some interesting issues here. The enables for the various 
devices are a global bitmask: 
Define port_enable, (bit map): GFX(2,3), GPP(4,5,6,7)

But v3 would allow us to not have the bit mask. OTOH, we would end up 
with 3 .dts files for the pcie ports for this enable; good or bad? 
GOOD --> highly custom configuration possible for each port
BAD --> 3 .dts files

Part of the issue is that the link from the dts to the device operations 
structure is done as follows: 
struct device_operations sb600_usb2 = {
	.id = {.type = DEVICE_ID_PCI,
		{.pci = {.vendor = PCI_VENDOR_ID_ATI,
			      .device = PCI_DEVICE_ID_ATI_SB600_USB2}}},

And this structure is named in the .dts for that device_operations:
{
	device_operations = "sb600_usb2";
};

requiring a different dts node for each set of device_operations. 

The device tree compiler generates the code to create these connections 
and puts that code into the the static_tree.c file. 

Having a .dts file for each port gives us a lot of flexibility; but is 
it too inconvenient? This is an unresolved problem; unhandled at present 
for the *6* USB ports for the sb600.
