I looked through this series. Even though it is motivated by Live 
Update, it is primarily a refactoring of how the PCI core saves and 
restores capability state (to make struct pci_saved_state compatible 
with Live Update), so it should go through the PCI tree rather than 
liveupdate.git. Only two patches (12 and 17) touch 
drivers/pci/liveupdate.c, and we can Ack those.

Let's get the current v10 PCI core LU series landed in first; after 
that, this series can apply against 7.X-rc1 so the PCI tree can cleanly 
pick it up.
