That seems fine to me. I think you wrote "pcibios_remove_bus(b)"
below in pci_create_root_bus() when you probably meant
"pcibios_add_bus(b)." But I'm sure you would have found that soon :)
Anyway, I think a directly-called weak function will be much easier to
understand than a notifier-based solution.
