I've said in the design doc[1] that "And for PCI bus devices, Linux
could reuse the existing PCI bus_notifier like X86."

Since currently Xen on ARM doesn't support PCI (IIRC) and if it adds the
support in the future, we could make the codes in drivers/xen/pci.c
common to ARM and x86 at that moment.
