From: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@huawei.com>

The xen-pcifront host bridge driver could be built as a module,
so export pci_create_root_bus(), pci_stop_and_remove_root_bus() and
pci_set_host_bridge_release() to support modular host bridge drivers.
This patch is a preparation for coming xen-pcifront refinement.

From: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@huawei.com>

Use new PCI interfaces to simplify xen-pcifront implementation:
1) Use pci_create_root_bus() instead of pci_scan_bus_parented()
   because pci_scan_bus_parented() will be marked as __deprecated.
   This also gets rid of a duplicated call to pci_bus_start_devices().
2) Use pci_stop_and_remove_root_bus() instead of open-coded private
   implementation.
3) Use pci_set_host_bridge_release() to release data structures
   associated with PCI root buses.

Why not just delete the function, if no in-kernel users are calling it,
it's no longer needed at all.

thanks,

Hi Greg,
I thought that may break out of tree drivers, so give a warning first
for smooth transitions. Any guidelines here? I have some other similar
cases to keep some exported symbols just for out of tree drivers.
Regards!

Don't care about out-of-tree drivers, as they obviously don't care about
you, or the in-kernel code.  You are doing no one any favors by keeping
these functions around for a while, only delaying the time that these
out-of-tree drivers will have to be updated, they will not be updated by
a mere __depreciated warning.

So just delete them, that's what the rest of the kernel does, it's the
price that out-of-tree drivers pay, and the authors of them know this
quite well.

thanks,

greg k-h

They look OK to me, but let me double-test them in case some last
minute regression has reared its head.
