[PATCH] PCI: handle subtractive decode pci-pci bridge better



With the number of PCI bus resources increased to 8, we can
handle the subtractive decode PCI-PCI bridge like a normal
bridge, taking into account standard PCI-PCI bridge windows
(resources 0-2). This helps to avoid problems with peer-to-peer DMA
behind such bridges, poor performance for MMIO ranges outside bridge
windows and prefetchable vs. non-prefetchable memory issues.

To reflect the fact that such bridges do forward all addresses to
the secondary bus (transparency), remaining bus resources 3-7 are
linked to resources 0-4 of the primary bus. These resources will be
used as fallback by resource management code if allocation from
standard bridge windows fails for some reason.
