Thanks for the suggestion and code. I spend some time to catch up. Yes,
Bjorn and you are correct, the better way is having a 'domain_nr' in the
'pci_host_bridge' and making sure every driver fill that correctly
before probe. I definitly will use this approach.

However, I may start small: I plan to introduce 'domain_nr' and only
fill the field at probe time for PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC=y archs, and leave
other archs and driver alone. (honestly, I was shocked by the number of
pci_scan_root_bus_bridge() and pci_host_probe() that I need to adjust if
I really want to unify the 'domain_nr' handling for every arch and
driver ;-)). This will fulfil my requirement for Hyper-V PCI controller
on ARM64. And later on, we can switch each arch to this approach one by
one and keep the rest still working.

Thoughts?

Boqun
