This patch finishes the i386 and x86-64 ->sysdata conversion and hopefully
also fixes Riku's and Andy's observed bugs.  It is based on Yinghai Lu's
and Andy Whitcroft's patches (thanks!) with some changes:

- introduce pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() and use it instead of
  pci_scan_bus() where appropriate. pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() will
  allocate the sysdata structure and then call pci_scan_bus().
- always allocate pci_sysdata dynamically. The whole point of this
  sysdata work is to make it easy to do root-bus specific things
  (e.g., support PCI domains and IOMMU's). I dislike using a default
  struct pci_sysdata in some places and a dynamically allocated
  pci_sysdata elsewhere - the potential for someone indavertantly
  changing the default structure is too high.
- this patch only makes the minimal changes necessary, i.e., the NUMA node is
  always initialized to -1. Patches to do the right thing with regards
  to the NUMA node can build on top of this (either add a 'node'
  parameter to pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() or just update the node
  when it becomes known).

The patch was compile tested with various configurations (e.g., NUMAQ,
VISWS) and run-time tested on i386 and x86-64.  Unfortunately none of my
machines exhibited the bugs so caveat emptor.

Andy, could you please see if this fixes the NUMA issues you've seen?
Riku, does this fix "pci=noacpi" on your laptop?
