Ok, applied, but I have to say that I hate it.

Why don't we just move the stupid iov indexes to the end, and then
ignore them by not counting through them in
__pci_enable_device_flags()? So the regular PCI code would always walk
through the resources 0 .. PCI_BRIDGE_RESOURCES_END or something. And
then the magic IOV code could look at its own ones that the generic
code apparently doesn't even want to know about.

Hmm?

But as mentioned, in the meantime I applied this.
