I doesn't change the bus-range.

There is an inconsistency in the current code.  The calculation of the 
cfg.win[?] pointers is done such that the beginning of the config space 
specified in the "reg" property corresponds to bus 0.

The calculation that I am changing, was done such that the beginning of 
the config space specified in the "reg" property corresponds to the 
first bus of the "bus-range"

Which is correct?  I assumed that the config space specified in the 
"reg" property corresponds to bus 0.  Based on this assumption, I made 
the bus_max calculation match.

Due to hardware peculiarities, our bus-range starts at a non-zero bus 
number.  So, something has to be done to make all the code agree on a 
single interpretation of the meaning "reg" property.

It isn't.  The part of the patch that changes the type from u8 to int 
was just to add some sanity.  The  code was easily susceptible to 
overflow failures, it seemed best to change to int.
