I agree we should drop the segment and node parameters.  Having the
information in two places means we can make a mistake, and we can easily
avoid that possibility by only keeping it in one place.

I think it is a bug that we don't set root->segment to zero when we have
pci_ignore_seg.  Sorry, that's my fault from 1f09b09b4de0 ("x86/PCI: Ignore
_SEG on HP xw9300").

I don't understand the issue about overriding the node number.  Can you
explain it?
