Move struct pci_saved_state{} and struct pci_cap_saved_data{} to linux/pci.h so that they are available to code outside of the PCI core.

These structs will be used in subsequent commits to serialize and deserialize PCI state across Live Update.

That's not sufficient as a justification to make these public in my view.

There are already pci_store_saved_state() and pci_load_saved_state() helpers to serialize PCI state. Why do you need anything more? (Honest question.)

Thanks,
