testing and I'll be doing more thorough testing overnight.
I'd also include: 2ceeec9d, and 085debd9.  The first fixes a binutils
oddity, and the second is a straight-forward bug fix.

If you want to add some more and/or tag a release, I'll resync again
before cutting 0.12.2.

If you're looking to pull in 32bit pcibios support, then I don't think
it would be worthwhile to rebase to a stable branch, as the 32bit
pcibios support is easily the biggest user visible change in v0.5.1
(in the sense that Linux will call 32bit pcibios if it's available).
Unless there's a strong demand for it, I'd like to hold off on 32bit
pcibios support.
That makes sense.  I'll pull your branch into my tree as well.
However, I don't think I'll get time to look much closer at this until
tomorrow night.

Based on the importance of 32bit pcibios support, I think it makes sense for us to just go to 0.5.1. Post 0.12.2, I think we'll want to be more restrictive but this looks to be an important feature.
