Subject: Re: [PATCH v1 3/4] PCI: Change extend_bridge_window() to set
 resource size directly

Thanks a lot for splitting these up.  It makes these dramatically
easier to read.

There is never a guarantee that PCI resource assignment will work.
It's always possible that we don't have enough resources to allow us
to enable a device.  So I'm not sure what this is telling me, and it
doesn't seem like a justification for setting the resource size
directly here.

Prior to this patch, I think all the assignment and changes to
dev->resource[] were in __assign_resources_sorted().  Maybe it's safe
to do some here and some in __assign_resources_sorted(), but I don't
understand it well enough to be confident.

How do we know it's safe to extend this, i.e., how do we know there's
nothing immediately after res?
