How about keeping the sysdata out of the pci_create_host_bridge interface, and
refactoring it so that the call sequence becomes

	host = pci_create_host_bridge(parent, db, resources);
	host->sysdata = sysdata;
	__pci_scan_root_bus(host, ops);

This way, we can make sysdata completely option. I assume that more of the
fields we have in sysdata today can get moved into pci_host_bridge
over time, so a host bridge driver can just assign those members individually
between pci_create_host_bridge and __pci_scan_root_bus.
