I assume this patch is doing the right thing, but the description
above doesn't really tell me enough to be sure.

This is supposed to be transparent to the callers, right? If
so, please mention it explicitly in the text.

Also you don't explain what the list of host bridges is
used for. Maybe you can split this out into a separate patch
so you have one patch that just moves code from one file
to the other but no functional changes, and a second patch
that exports pci_create_host_bridge and introduces the list,
with an explanation of what it is used for.
