True, Coverity finds false positives.  It flagged every use in
drivers/pci and drivers/pnp.  It didn't mention the arch/alpha, arm,
mips, powerpc, sh, or sparc uses, but I think it just didn't look at
those.

It flagged both:

  pbus_size_io    pci_dev_for_each_resource(dev, r)
  pbus_size_mem   pci_dev_for_each_resource(dev, r, i)

Here's a spreadsheet with a few more details (unfortunately I don't
know how to make it dump the actual line numbers or analysis like I
pasted below, so "pci_dev_for_each_resource" doesn't appear).  These
are mostly in the "Drivers-PCI" component.

These particular reports are in the "High Impact Outstanding" tab.
