I would vote to put it inside the hose structure:

. It makes a workaround look like a real fix. :-)

. In other implementations of pci_auto, hose is the private sys data of a pci
dev. Having a bus number inside is very useful (e.g., pci_ops can tell whether
it is type0 of type1 configuration based on the bus number rather than a shaky
NULL parent bus pointer).  In the future, all pci_auto should be combined into
the pci driver.  So that is probably the right direction to go.

I think hose may evolve to be the data structure that represents the topology
of PCI buses.  It should have more uses in the future (e.g., the standard IRQ
routing across PCI-PCI bridges).
