There is no such thing as "the root bus."  There may be many root buses.

The primary/secondary/subordinate fields in struct pci_bus are really
properties of the upstream P2P bridge.  Primary is the bus number of
the P2P bridge primary (upstream) interface.  In the case of a "root
bus," i.e., the bus immediately below a PCI host bridge, there is no
upstream P2P bridge, so primary is meaningless.
