I don't have anything special in mind, but you may need to look at how
the pseries hotplug driver does to get those fixups and resource
management things done. That driver is mostly a horrible mess, though I
did clean quite a bit of it up recently...

The main thing of interest to you is pcibios_add_pci_devices() which
is called to probe below an existing bridge. It's currently in
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/pci_dlpar.c but we could move it or some
of it to our common code if needed. You also may safely ignore the eeh_*
bits on ppc32

Cheers,
Ben.
