for Intel Nehalem and westmere -ex system, there will be root bus from
0xf8 to 0xff for cpus.
and BIOS does not put the in ACPI, but __pci_mmcfg_init will set the
pcibios_last_bus.
so those but get probed via pcibios_fixup_peer_bridges.

I hope I could use /sys to remove non-acpi root bus.

As for merging, I suggest following sequence:
1. fw resource allocate per bus.

2. separate out pci host bridge hotplug add support from acpiphp

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/yinghai/linux-yinghai.git;a=commitdiff;h=f00a5bdd7f0460eef573e2ef8f2a96a408300c75

3. add pci host bridge remove support

...

will rebase
busn_alloc and root bus branch and send whole patchset for review.

Thanks
