Now pci device will be added to driver core once its
creation. All things left in pci_bus_add_devices() are
driver attachment and other trivial sysfs things.
Pci_scan_bus() should be the function responsible for
scanning PCI devices, not including driver attachment.
Other, some callers(m68k,unicore32,alpha) of pci_scan_bus()
will call pci_bus_size_bridges() and pci_bus_assign_resources()
after pci_scan_bus().

E.g.
In m68k
mcf_pci_init()
        pci_scan_bus()
                ...
                pci_bus_add_devices() --- try to attach driver
        pci_fixup_irqs()
        pci_bus_size_bridges()
        pci_bus_assign_resources()

It is not correct, resources should be assigned correctly
before attaching driver.
No, at that time pci drivers are loaded yet.

Thanks

Yinghai
