Yes, good idea.

See also the reply I just sent on the previous thread for a migration
plan regarding the existing drivers.

Hmm, I fear I was speaking too quickly, the pci_host_bridge_window actually
contains a pointer to the resource rather than the resource itself :(

There is probably a way to do this better, at least once we unify the
probe() and setup() functions.

It's possible we have to go further and only map the buses that are
actually used, rather than the ones that are defined for the bus,
but just mapping the entire range is a reasonable start I think.

With the patch I just suggested, we can simply keep
pci_common_init_dev() for older (non-multiplatform) controllers 
and not change them at all but move on to something else for
the interesting ones, i.e. those we want to share with arm64.
