say we move that in pci_host_bridge struct,

Are you suggesting to modify pcibios_init_hw to assign the 
align_resource function pointer at the end after
pci_scan_root_bus_msi() has created the host bridge structure;
then we can retrieve it in pcibios_align_resource using
pci_find_host_bridge(dev->bus)....?

Well just because I didn't think about the solution above...

If you think the above one can work I can send out another
patch to fix this...

Many Thanks
