Yes.  I just added a page on the wiki about NEW_PCIB explaining the changes
each platform needs for it in a bit more detail on Friday:

   https://wiki.freebsd.org/NEW_PCIB

I have posted patches in the past to arm@ to handle step 2 in the NEW_PCIB
base requirements for arm@ but haven't been able to get folks to test them.
I just recently made a new pass through sys/arm in a p4 tree to refresh thi=
s.
I haven't even compiled these yet, but you can find the patch here:

   http://people.freebsd.org/~jhb/patches/arm_activate2.patch

I don't know how best to think about fixing i80321_pci to work with NEW_PCI=
B.
It has some hack that I don't fully understand.  I think it uses an
alternate mapping of the same resource range to use a different base address
for the mapping.  Longer term I think the bus_map_resource() think I suggest
at the bottom is how to handle that, but even then there would still need to
be a way to know which base address a given resource wanted to use.  It may
be that we need to implement that differently (bus-specific rman flag?)
