Based on Pali's and your replies, I take it that these values
originate in x86 firmware, so the x86 code needs to convert to Linux
error codes and everywhere else can use Linux error codes everywhere.

There's 210 in drivers/pci/, 62 in the rest of drivers/ and 437 in
arch/. 332 are PCIBIOS_SUCCESSFUL which won't change values. Most of
drivers/pci/ and arch/ returning the value while the rest of drivers/
is comparing the returned value (mostly to PCIBIOS_SUCCESSFUL). There
could be checks such as 'if (ret > 0)' which are harder to find. A
coccinelle patch might be helpful here.

I think we want to do things in the following order:
- Rework any callers expecting a positive return value
- Make the config accessor defines convert positive error codes to
Linux error codes
- Convert pci_ops implementations to Linux error codes one by one.

I also considered we could make the accessors convert negative error
codes back to positive PCIBIOS_ values, then no callers have to be
checked/fixed first.

I don't it matters what order we do these, so this can happen first.
