I'm hoping we won't need the above if we can resurrect Matthew's
patches.

Applied to pci/host-generic for v4.4 with Arnd's Reviewed-by and minor
changelog tweaks (as below).

Seems not settled yet.

Also applied to pci/host-generic, thanks!

    PCI: generic: Allow multiple hosts with different map_bus() methods
    
    The generic driver kept a global struct pci_ops ("gen_pci_ops") which it
    patched with the .map_bus() method appropriate for the bus device.  This is
    a problem when we have two different types of bus devices: the .map_bus()
    method for the last device probed clobbers the method for previous devices.
    The result is that only the last bus device probed has the correct
    .map_bus(), and the others fail.
    
    Move the struct pci_ops into the bus-specific structure and initialize a
    pointer to it when the bus device is probed.

    PCI: generic: Pass starting bus number to pci_scan_root_bus()
    
    If the bus is being configured with a bus-range that does not start at
    zero, pass that starting bus number to pci_scan_root_bus().  Passing the
    incorrect value of zero causes attempted config accesses outside of the
    supported range, which cascades to an OOPs spew and eventual kernel panic.
