Imagine...

   bus-range [0x80 .. 0xff], this requires a cfg.res that will cover the 
entire range of 0..0xff.

   according to the calculations above, (resource_size(&pci->cfg.res) >> 
pci->cfg.ops.bus_shift) - 1 will have a value of 0xff, so...

   bus_max = 0x80 + 0xff -> OVERFLOW of u8!

That is not useful.  bus_max should represent the largest bus number 
that can be covered by cfg.res.  That is what my patch is attempting to 
accomplish.  Calculate the largest bus number that can be accommodated 
by cfg.res, and then clamp it to 0xff.
