Sorry, I will refresh the patch log for better description.

In this series I have no plan to export the pci_create_host_bridge()
to callers, because I think pci_host_bridge_ops could make callers
have the ability to setup the platform specific operations. But if this
is needed, we could introduce another patches to export it.

pci_host_bridge_list is used to find out whether the pci_host_bridge
in domain:bus is already existed, I will split the related code
to another patch, thanks.
