no, I don't think so.

using pci_add_resource will need to create dummy resource abut bus range.

there is lots of pci_scan_root_bus(),  and those user does not bus end
yet before scan.
so could just hide pci_insert_busn_res in pci_scan_root_bus, and
update busn_res end there.

other arch like x86, ia64, powerpc, sparc, will insert exact bus range
between pci_create_root_bus and
pci_scan_child_bus, will not need to update busn_res end.

please check v7 of this patchset.

It should be clean and have minimum lines of change.

Thanks
