But I think the point is, can't we intiialize the busn resource after
the first & last bus numbers have been determined?  E.g. rather than
Yinghai's current:
+	pci_bus_insert_busn_res(bus, hose->first_busno, hose->last_busno);
+
 	/* Get probe mode and perform scan */
 	mode = PCI_PROBE_NORMAL;
 	if (node && ppc_md.pci_probe_mode)
@@ -1742,8 +1744,11 @@ void __devinit pcibios_scan_phb(struct pci_controller *hose)
 		of_scan_bus(node, bus);
 	}
 
-	if (mode == PCI_PROBE_NORMAL)
+	if (mode == PCI_PROBE_NORMAL) {
+		pci_bus_update_busn_res_end(bus, 255);
 		hose->last_busno = bus->subordinate = pci_scan_child_bus(bus);
+		pci_bus_update_busn_res_end(bus, bus->subordinate);
+	}

we'd have something more like:

 	/* Get probe mode and perform scan */
 	mode = PCI_PROBE_NORMAL;
 	if (node && ppc_md.pci_probe_mode)
@@ -1742,8 +1744,11 @@ void __devinit pcibios_scan_phb(struct pci_controller *hose)
 		of_scan_bus(node, bus);
 	}
 
	if (mode == PCI_PROBE_NORMAL)
 		hose->last_busno = bus->subordinate = pci_scan_child_bus(bus);

+	pci_bus_insert_busn_res(bus, hose->first_busno, hose->last_busno);

since we should have the final bus range by then?  Setting the end to
255 and then changing it again doesn't make sense; and definitely makes
the code hard to follow.
