Why do we need this in the pci_dev?  Is there something about
pci_scan_bridge_extend() that means it has to be in pci_dev as well as
pci_bus?  Multiple copies means possible inconsistencies.

I think it should be stylistically similar to the existing
"pci_bus.number"; adding "initial" before or after is ok, but adding
both "initial" and "bus" makes them less connected.

Users would check "vhdr->PCIBus == rdev->pdev->bus->number_initial" or
similar.
