If you want to allow just one PCI host bridge, set it to 0xffff, otherwise
use 0xfffff (for up to 16 bridges)

If you define pcibios_align_resource() as an empty function, that can
remain zero as well, it's only meant to stay out of the way of ISA
devices.

I think that would be good, yes. We probably picked defaults for the
asm-generic version that are enough to build with CONFIG_PCI disabled,
but there are useful defaults for the other case as well.

Most architectures that use the file don't support PCI, so you can just
add stuff inside of #ifdef CONFIG_PCI. For the remaining 13 architectures
(git grep -l generic/pci.h | wc), see whether there are conflicts first.
The normal way would be to have the arch specific definition come before
the #include, and then do something like

#ifndef pci_proc_domain
#define pci_proc_domain pci_proc_domain
static inline int pci_proc_domain(struct pci_bus *bus)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC
return pci_domain_nr(bus);
#else
return 1;
}
#endif
