Oops, sorry, I totally missed the point here.  The point is that for
each domain, we get a new 00-ff range of possible bus numbers.  This
is independent of the host bridges for that domain that may exist.
Then each host bridge will allocate a piece of the 00-ff range.

But I do still think get_pci_domain_busn_res() isn't really the best
place for this.  It seems like it should be at a higher level,
connected somehow to domain number allocation, e.g., somewhere related
to bridge->domain_nr like the pci_bus_find_domain_nr() path.
