This function does a lot of kalloc's but there is not an easy way to
undo those allocations. Hot unplug of a host bridge or probe error
handling would leak memory.
You could pass in struct device and use the devm_ variant (also
addressing Bjorn's comment), but not having an uninit/remove function
make what clean-up drivers have to do error prone. For example, on
uninit a driver needs to call pci_free_resource_list.
