I poked around looking for similar patterns elsewhere with:
  git grep "#define.*for_each_.*_p("
  git grep "#define.*for_each_.*_idx("

I didn't find any other "_p" iterators and just a few "_idx" ones, so
my hope is to follow what little precedent there is, as well as
converge on the basic "*_for_each_resource()" iterators and remove the
"_idx()" versions over time by doing things like the
pci_claim_resource() change.

The p is heavily used in the byte order conversion helpers.

I can't seem to find them. Example?

Or do you mean cpu_to_be32p()? There "p" means pointer,
which is something completely different.

What do you think?  If it seems like excessive churn, we can do it
as-is and still try to reduce the use of the index variable over time.

I think _p has a precedent as well. But I can think about it a bit, maybe
we can come up with something smarter.
