I think it's a good idea to support probing multiple PCI root buses in
parallel.

The problem in get_pci_domain_busn_res() is the global
pci_domain_busn_res_list.  I'm not even sure what that list contains,
since it's a lookup by "domain_nr".  In the hv case, you probably have
one host bridge per domain, but in general there may be multiple root
buses in the same domain, e.g.,

  ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PC00] (domain 0000 [bus 00-16])
  ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PC01] (domain 0000 [bus 17-39])
  ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PC02] (domain 0000 [bus 3a-5c])
  ...

We only use get_pci_domain_busn_res() for root buses, and we should
know the bus number range for root buses when we set up the struct
pci_host_bridge, so it seems like we should keep the bus number
resource there instead of allocating it in this sort of random place.

Then we shouldn't need this weird pci_domain_busn_res_list at all.
