    I have two issues here:

    1) hose->last_busno is currently the highest bus number found by
    pci_scan_child_bus(). If I understand correctly,
    pci_bus_insert_busn_res() is supposed to update the core's idea of the
    host bridge's bus number aperture. (Actually, I guess it just updates
    the *end* of the aperture, since we supply the start directly to
    pci_scan_root_bus()). The aperture and the highest bus number we
    found are not related, except that we should have:

    hose->first_busno <= bus->subordinate <= hose->last_busno

    If we set the aperture to [first_busno - last_busno], we artificially
    prevent some hotplug.

    2) We already have a way to add resources to a root bus: the
    pci_add_resource() used to add I/O port and MMIO apertures. I think
    it'd be a lot simpler to just use that same interface for the bus
    number aperture, e.g.,

    pci_add_resource(&resources, hose->io_space);
    pci_add_resource(&resources, hose->mem_space);
    pci_add_resource(&resources, hose->busnr_space);
    bus = pci_scan_root_bus(dev, next_busno, pci_ops, sysdata, &resources);

    This is actually a bit redundant, since "next_busno" should be the
    same as hose->busnr_space->start. So if we adopted this approach, we
    might want to eventually drop the "next_busno" argument.
