The pcibios_init() function for 64 bit PowerPC currently calls
pci_bus_add_devices() before pcibios_resource_survey(), which seems
incorrect because it adds devices and attempts to bind their drivers
before allocating their resources (although no problems seem to be
apparent).

So move the call to pci_bus_add_devices() to after
pcibios_resource_survey().

This will also allow the ppc_md.pcibios_bus_add_device() hooks to
perform actions that depend on PCI resources, both during rescanning
(where this is already the case) and at boot time, which should
support improvements and refactoring.

Hi everyone,

I've tested this on a P9 for both the host and a KVM guest, and the change
hasn't caused any differences in PCI resource assignments or the general boot
messages.

I've also had a go at inspecting most of the code used by pci_bus_add_devices()
and pcibios_resource_survey() and it doesn't look like there are going to be
any changes in behaviour caused by reordering.  It might be worth mentioning
that the hotplug path (see pcibios_finish_adding_to_bus()) already does
resource allocation before calling pci_bus_add_devices().

However, it would be great if someone could test this change on some older
hardware or comment on wether we should make the same change on 32 bit machines.

Cheers,
Sam.
