My suggestion is to define the pcibios_add_device() for arm arch, like the one
in arch/powerpc/kernel/pci-common.c. If my understanding is correct, this
patch set address the pci bus setup mostly on arm arch.

For those archs not support OF, this function is empty and has no effect. I
agree on this one.

For those archs rely on OF, we still have two cases:
    1. they would have implement this function like powerpc
    2. have other way to fix it up,  otherwise how it works now?
If my assumption is correct, this change will either have no effect, or fix up
the irq line the second time. Not harmful, but not necessary.

I am not familiar with other arch, so the second case is my deduction. If this
is not correct, please let me know.
