Yes, that should be fine.  Just an FYI - when you introduce the
over-ride, I believe that it should be __init and not __devinit as the
previous tile version of 'pcibios_setup()' was.

Looking at the tree I only see three of the architectures currently
using/implementing "pci=off" (four with the 'tile' addition).  Perhaps
there is a way to avoid such but it seems like adding this to the core
would require introducing the global variable 'pci_probe' which seems
like unnecessary pollution?
