will change to:

Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Move ISA io port align out of calculate_iosize()

We can move ISA io port align out of calculate_iosize(),
so we could unify calculate_iosize and calculate_memsize later.

That extra aligning or offset is to work around ISA devices:
When one bridge have several children devices, and every device
has several io port resources and resource size < 0x400.
We need to check size, and add extra size to make sure bit8/9
to be zero.
