Well, doing the root resource fixups in here is a *paranoid* way. It's to
deal with the 'unlikely' circumstance where controller_resources() returns
the NULL pointer in pcibios_scanbus() due to memory allocation failure.
Most of the time (always) it's nothing more than repeating the resource
list setup. But maybe we can do something like this:

if (unlikely(!dev && list_empty(&bus->resources))
        pcibios_setup_root_resources(bus, hose);


What do you think?
