*My* strategy is to get rid of pci_domain_nr(). I don't see why we need
to have arch specific way of providing the number, specially after looking
at the existing implementations that return a value from a variable that
is never touched or incremented. My guess is that pci_domain_nr() was
created to work around the fact that there was no domain_nr maintainance in
the generic code.

The path would be to send a patch that removes all existing pci_domain_nr()
macros/inline functions and rely on the generic function.

The reason for creating the wrapper function was to allow for explicit passing
of domain_nr. If we find architectures where generic allocation of domain_nr
doesn't work for them, we can make them use this wrapper to pass the domain_nr
into the host bridge when creating the root bus.

I'm trying to reduce the number of variables being passed between architectures
and generic code. host_bridge (with the associated root bus), domain_nr those
are needed. Is there anything else that you have in your mind that needs to
be shared?

My approach would be in sharing of the data: PCI is a standard, and the core
framework implements it. What is so broken in your architecture that you need
to work around the core code? And I'm not talking about drivers and quirks,
but architectural level support.
