I don't think we need this either.

We don't need pcibios_root_rescan() because there's no way to add or
remove buses except via the normal ACPI hotplug mechanisms.  (Well,
you did add sysfs ways to do it, but I don't like those either, and
they certainly don't work for any kind of normal hotplug users might
do.)

We don't need acpi_pci_root_rescan(), because for actual host bridge
add/remove, we will get ACPI notify events, and we can use the normal
ways of handling those events.  For debug purposes, we can have a
sysfs interface that kicks things off the same way a notify event
would.
