setup-bus.o is linked only on x86, so your patch will cause all other
pci-using architectures to not link.

An easy fix is to move the definitions of pci_cardbus_io_size and
pci_cardbus_mem_size into pci.c.  An ugly, fragile but more efficient fix
is, reluctantly:

Perhaps we should move the cbiosize= and cbmemsize= handlers over into
setup-bus.c.  The implementation would be cleaner, but then we wouldn't be
able to use the pci= namespace.
