This is touching drivers/edac/ and I guess I'm fine with it,

... one question though: how are people using those pci_bus*
functions supposed to know that pci_bus_assign_resources needs to
go before pci_bus_add_device? The comment in pci_bus_add_device()
mentions something about it but wouldn't it be possible to call
pci_bus_assign_resources() in pci_bus_add_device() when resources are
not assigned?

Sorry if my question is completely dumb - I have no presumption of
knowing pci and haven't looked either. Just asking with my user hat on.

Thanks.
