[PATCH] powerpc/pci: Reuse PHB number on pci_controller add if available

The domain/PHB field of PCI addresses has its value obtained from a
global variable, incremented each time a new domain (represented by
struct pci_controller) is added on the system. The domain addition
process happens during boot or due to PCI device hotplug.

As recent kernels are using predictable naming for network interfaces,
the network stack is more tied to PCI naming. This can be a problem in
hotplug scenarios, because PCI addresses will change if a device is
removed and then re-added. This situation seems unusual, but it can
happen if a user wants to replace a NIC without rebooting the machine,
for example.

This patch changes the way PCI domain values are generated: the global
variable is no longer used; instead, a list is introduced, containing
a flag that indicates whenever a domain is in use or was released, for
example by a PCI hotplug remove. If the new PHB being added finds a
free domain, it will use its number; otherwise a new number is
generated incrementing the higher domain value present on the system.
No functional changes were introduced.
