We don't currently do that on Tegra either. pci-mvebu doesn't do that
either, but they don't implement the driver's .remove() in the first
place.

I think the biggest missing piece is pci_common_exit(), the counterpart
of pci_common_init(), to cleanup a host bridge on ARM. I haven't looked
in detail at the other architectures, but I suspect there must be some
code to call when a host bridge is removed.

Looking at drivers/pci/remove.c, it seems like pci_remove_root_bus()
might be what we're looking at. It isn't exported so it can't be used by
modules, but that can be changed. Is that how a host bridge is typically
removed from the system?
