I have a patch that I did as part of a longer series to modernize
some of the more unusual pci host bridges, it's only a small step
but should help follow up for the rest:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground.git/commit/?h=pci-probe-rework-20210320&id=7346fbf1938e547833726ebdf25dfe0ef185cbff

What I noticed is that there are a couple of data structures that each
exist for every acpi host bridge:

struct acpi_pci_root
struct acpi_pci_root_ops
struct acpi_pci_root_info
struct acpi_pci_generic_root_info
struct pci_sysdata (arch specific, but includes data used by acpi)
struct pci_host_bridge

I think we can pretty much move all the struct members from those
into the generic pci_host_bridge, removing the duplicates and
adding #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI for some of them.

Similarly, for the global functions from arch/arm64/kernel/pci.c etc,
I think they should mostly get turned into callback handlers that
get set by the probe function, replacing the __weak defaults.
