We can wait on it until there is a user.
This is used by the Tegra driver and as I've explained the reason for
sending these patches separately was to get them merged beforehand to
reduce the number of dependencies that need to be tracked once the
driver is merged (possibly in 3.10, maybe later given the amount of
extra work you want done).
The patch used to be part of the Tegra series, but since Thomas started
using them for his Marvell work I thought it might be a good idea to
make them available separately.
But I can take it back into the Tegra series since that's where we seem
to be headed.

The PCI core code actually keeps track of bus-ranges this way. See
drivers/pci/probe.c for instance which uses the global the busn_resource
variable and keeps a list of struct resource:s for each domain as well.
