I don't think we need an additional 'bus' field in the struct
acpi_pci_slot. At the register_slot(), we already know the
address of struct pci_bus. At the acpi_pci_slot_remove(), I
think we can get the address of struct pci_bus as follows.

		if (slot->root_handle == handle) {
			struct pci_bus *pbus = slot->pci_slot->bus;
			list_del(&slot->list);
			pci_destroy_slot(slot->pci_slot);
			put_device(&pbus->dev);
			kfree(slot);
		}

Thanks,
