This function is only ever used as a pointer passed to
pci_bus_alloc_resource()?

What about having

    #ifndef pcibios_fixup_bus
    #define pcibios_fixup_bus NULL
    #endif

in asm-generic/pci.h, letting the architecture with a non-trivial
implementation predefine the preprocessor symbol, and teaching
pci_bus_alloc_resource() to handle NULL?

[...]

Oh, the latter eventually calls into allocate_resource(), which already falls
back to simple_align_resource() if the alignment function is NULL, which
does the same thing.
So NULL should already work.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
