I guess you can't move that struct pci_controller to generic code
since it is present on other archs too (with completely different
members).

What you can do is creating a new struct (ie same purpose of pci_controller
with a different name) common to all archs that contains the common bits
+ a void* data that contains arch specific data, and convert x86 and ia64
to using it.

It is weird to be forced to declare a pci_controller structure in arm64
code with 0 arch specific data in it.
