That's just the name I came up with. Maybe something like
pci_assign_domain_to_bus()?

Thanks for the Ack but I think Liviu needs to address a few more things
with the OF part of his PCIe patches and it's unlikely that they are
ready for 3.17. My "deadline" is for 3.18 to get the generic (and arm64)
PCIe support in.

(I'm off for two weeks starting now as well).
