Lots of architectures do this, and the PCI core supports it by keeping
a list of all the host bridge windows.  Each entry has a struct
resource that contains the CPU address, as well as the offset from the
CPU address to the PCI address.  The arch or host bridge driver uses
pci_add_resource_offset() to tell the core about the window and the
offset.
