I don't understand the point of this.  I'm trying hard to *remove* PCI
code from arch/ because most of it is not really arch-specific.  This
is a good example.  There's nothing in the pcibios_bus_to_resource()
that you're adding back to x86 that is specific to x86, and it makes
things more complicated.  Using __weak adds ambiguity for the reader,
now the pci_add_resource_offset() interface exists but doesn't work,
etc.

I agree that this patch will make x86 a tiny bit faster and a tiny bit
smaller, but I don't think it's enough to matter.  Do you have numbers
that say otherwise?
