looks like go over all buses to find out several root buses is not good.

I take that back.

this patchset is most doing same thing like my for_each_host_bridge patchset.
that patchset add bus_type for host_bridge and loop with each_...bus
to find host_bridge
and to its bus.

looks like for each host bridge should be right direction.

also late we could add per host bridge lock instead of whole pci bus sem etc.

Thanks
