Merge tag 'acpi-pci-4.1-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull PCI / ACPI fix from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This fixes a bug uncovered by a recent driver core change that
  modified the implementation of the ACPI_COMPANION_SET() macro to
  strictly rely on its second argument to be either NULL or a valid
  pointer to struct acpi_device.

  As it turns out, pcibios_root_bridge_prepare() on x86 and ia64 works
  with the assumption that the only code path calling pci_create_root_bus()
  is pci_acpi_scan_root() and therefore the sysdata argument passed to
  it will always match the expectations of pcibios_root_bridge_prepare().

  That need not be the case, however, and in particular it is not the
  case for the Xen pcifront driver that passes a pointer to its own
  private data strcture as sysdata to pci_scan_bus_parented() which then
  passes it to pci_create_root_bus() and it ends up being used incorrectly
  by pcibios_root_bridge_prepare()"
