If this patch allows pci_bus_distribute_available_resources() to
function when pci=hpmemsize=nn is used, what happens *before* this
patch?  The text implies that pci_bus_distribute_available_resources()
doesn't function, but what happens?  Do we try to assign a downstream
bridge requiring X+n inside an upstream window of size X and the
assignment fails, leaving the downstream bridge unusable?

Where's the patch that changes the caller so "new_size" may be smaller
than "size"?  I guess it must be "[3/3] PCI: Consider alignment of
hot-added bridges ..." because that's the only one that makes a
non-trivial change, right?

I consider reset_resource() to be deprecated because it throws away
res->flags, which tells us what kind of resource it is
(mem/io/32-bit/64-bit/prefetchable).  We learn this during
enumeration, and we shouldn't forget the information until we remove
the device.

If the resource assignment code doesn't do the right thing with a
zero-sized resource, I think we should fix that code.  Clearing the
resource struct does nothing with the hardware BAR or window
registers, so the BAR/window remains enabled unless we do something
more.  If we don't need a window and we want to disable it, we can do
that, but it requires writing special values to the hardware
registers.
