It *is* a little ugly.  You compute some of this info early, in
pbus_size_io/mem(), but it's not used until later.  Maybe it would
make sense in struct pci_bus?  That's a pain, too, because then you
have to test the resource type in adjust_resources_sorted() but at
least it's a per-PCI bridge structure.
