One optimization we discussed before was to do this ioremap on the first
access to any config space register in one bus, so we don't actually have
to map all of them but only the ones that are in use.

I don't know if there was a technical problem with that. We can't just
map/unmap on every config space access, because it can be called from
atomic context and ioremap can sleep, but the initial bus scan is
always done in a context in which we are allowed to sleep.

Setup is called from probe, through pci_common_init_dev(), so that shouldn't
make a difference.

I suggested moving it all into setup, to make it easier to port this code
to arm64: I don't expect we will have the same pci_common_init_dev()
mechanism there, so setup will get called directly from the probe
function.

The alternative is to do everything in probe() as well for arm32, and only
do a single list_move() of the resources list to sys->resources in the
setup function. That was the advice I gave in the xilinx pci host driver
review for the same reason. I only now noticed that I recommended the opposite
here. Anyway it shouldn't matter where we do all the things, but I feel
it's better to have only one function that does all the work for the case
of having nr_controllers=1, as we always do for loadable host drivers.
