You would need to implement a sensible PCI controller first.

Actually Rob Herring has some prototype patches which
do this (using the kernel's new support for a PCI controller
which can be defined entirely using a device tree). They
have some bugs still, though (the lsi SCSI controller
device doesn't seem to work, for instance).

Rob, would you mind posting your PCI controller patch
as an RFC? That way Claudio could have a look at the
issues with DMA if he wants to move forward here.
