pci_root.c leaves the implementation of pci_acpi_scan_root() to the
architecture. Implementing pci_acpi_scan_root needs a
pci_acpi_root_ops instance and a pci_ops instance and related functions.
The architecture is also expected to implement raw_pci_read and
raw_pci_write.

pci_host_acpi.c is a generic implementation of these using a sysdata
pointing to acpi_pci_root_info, and using a pointer to the pci_mmcfg_region
to access ECAM area, Maybe I can rename this file to
pci_acpi_host_generic.c to reflect this better.

arm64 is the only user of this generic implementation now. The config
option CONFIG_ACPI_PCI_HOST_GENERIC has to be set on the
architecture that chooses to use this generic code instead of its own
implementation.
