This doesn't look equivalent.  Previously, we iterated over all PCI
buses, so we returned the highest bus number seen anywhere.  Now we
only look at root buses, so we return the highest bus number of any
root bus.  But if that root bus has a bridge on it, obviously the
bus on the other side has a higher number.

Even with that fix, a hot-add at the same time i7core_probe() runs
could mean an incorrect result.  This is all very i7 topology-dependent,
so I don't think the PCI core can do anything more than avoid oopses
from traversing lists incorrectly.
