Hi Bjorn, busn_resource may would not be shared by multi domains,

We insert bus number resource like:

pci_add_resource(&resources, &busn_resource);
pci_bus_insert_busn_res(root_bus, start, bus_max); //start is the root bus number provided by arch pci host driver, bus max here == 255
get_pci_domain_busn_res(domain) //for root bus //try to get a domain specific pci_domain_busn_res, if not exist, create it.
request_resource_conflict(domain_specific_busn_res, res) //request busn res(start, bus_max) from the pci_domain_busn_res.

So every domain has its own pci_domain_busn_res , different domain would not share the same bus number resource.

Do I understand correct ?

Thanks!
Yijing.
