Changes in v2:
 - patch 1: commit message reworking as suggested by Lorenzo
 - patch 3-6: split-up as suggested by Bjorn
 - patch 8: new
 - patch 10: select PCI_DOMAINS from PCI_HOST_GENERIC, rather than
   allowing manual choice, as suggested by Lorenzo

This primarily enables to unbind the generic PCI host controller without
leaving lots of memory leaks behind. A previous proposal patch 5 was
rejected because of those issues [1].

The fixes have been validated in the Jailhouse setup, where we add and
remove a virtual PCI host controller on hypervisor activation/
deactivation, with the help of kmemleak.
by chance I was looking into a memleak in of_pci_get_host_bridge_resources(),
so I can give you a number of review tags.

FWIW the state of unfixably broken https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9662893/
should be changed to obsoleted/deprecated/rejected.
