Subject: [PATCH] Resource: wrong resource window calculation

  	Resource: wrong resource window calculation

__find_resource() incorrectly returns a resource window which overlaps an
existing allocated window. This happens when the parent's resource-window spans
0x00000000 to 0xffffffff and is entirely allocated to all its children
resource-windows.

__find_resource() looks for gaps in resource allocation among the children
resource windows.  When it encounters the last child window it blindly tries
the range next to one allocated to the last child. Since the last child's
window ends at 0xffffffff the calculation overflows, leading the algorithm to
believe that any window in the range 0x0000000 to 0xfffffff is available for
allocation. This leads to a conflicting window allocation.

Michal Ludvig reported this issue seen on his platform. The following patch
fixes the problem and has been verified by Michal. I believe this bug has been
there for ages. It got exposed by git commit
