Hi Bjorn, Lorenzo, since this change is pure Hyper-V stuff, I'd like it to
go through the hyper-v tree if you have no objection.

The hyper-v tree already has a PCI patch from Michael:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hyperv/linux.git/commit/?h=hyperv-next&id=2c6ba4216844ca7918289b49ed5f3f7138ee2402

My patch won't apply cleanly without Michael's patch, because we
both changed "struct hv_pcibus_device".

Thanks,
Dexuan
