I think this is a very nice series, hope we can get this into 3.20.

I've replied with a few specific comments, but I see no show-stoppers
and I've already retracted a few comments after seeing the bigger
picture.
After applied this series, we have following scan interfaces:

1. pci_scan_bus_legacy() 
   parent = NULL, default io/mem/bus resources.
   for legacy pci scan

2. pci_scan_root_bus()
   for callers provide its own parent and io/mem/bus resources
   but no platform specific pci_host_bridge operations

3. pci_scan_root_bridge()
   for callers provide its own parent and io/mem/bus resources
   and pci_host_bridge_ops.
I still think we will need a split interface for drivers to use
that want to call pci_create_host_bridge() manually, but that can
come later as we try to migrate the arm32 host bridge drivers to
a generic interface away from pci_common_init_dev().

Another follow-up would be to move more of the pcibios_*() functions
into pci_host_bridge_ops.
