Sure, will do this in next version :-)

It can be PCI_BRIDGE_RESOURCES, because there may be some non-standard resources following PCI_ROM_RESOURCE and before PCI_BRIDGE_RESOURCES.
For example, a standard PCI device has following resources:
0 - 5 BARs
6 ROM
7 - 10 Bridge
After SR-IOV is enabled, it becomes
0 - 5 standard BARs
6 Rom
7 - 12 SR-IOV BARs
13 - 16 Bridge

Same as above, the PCI_BRIDGE_RES_END varies when some features is enabled or disabled.
Thank you very much for carefully reviewing these patches. I'd like to invite you to review next version again if it's convenient for you.
