Subject: [RFC/PATCH 4/4] [POWERPC] pci: Disable IO/Mem on a device when resources can't be allocated

This patch changes the PowerPC PCI code to disable IO and/or Memory
decoding on a PCI device when a resource of that type failed to be
allocated. This is done to avoid having unallocated dangling BARs enabled
that might try to decode on top of other devices.

If a proper resource is assigned later on, then pci_enable_device{,_io,_mem}
will take care of re-enabling decoding.

Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@...nel.crashing.org>

NOTE: This patch doesn't apply on current upstream, but rather on top
of a serie that merges 32 and 64 bits PowerPC PCI resource handling, and
which will be in 2.6.25. I post it here mostly to show what I think should
be done. A similar patch will have to be done for other architectures.
