There are "addr_space" in EP mode, which useful map out outbound iatu
region. We can reuse this name.

To keep compatiblity, cut hole from 'config' and 'ranges'. If there are
not 'config', we can alloc a 1M(default) from top for 'config', then, 4K
(default) for msg, 64K( for IO if not IO region in 'ranges'), left is
mem region. We can config each region size by module parameter or drvdata.

So we can deprecate 'config', even 'ranges'

IORESOURCE_TYPE_BITS is 1f, Only 5bit. If extend IORESOURCE_TYPE_BITS, 
all IORESOURCE_* bit need move. And it is actual MEMORY regain. 

Or we can use IORESOURCE_BITS (0xff)

/* PCI ROM control bits (IORESOURCE_BITS) */
#define IORESOURCE_ROM_ENABLE		(1<<0)	/* ROM is enabled, same as PCI_ROM_ADDRESS_ENABLE */
#define IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW		(1<<1)	/* Use RAM image, not ROM BAR */

/* PCI control bits.  Shares IORESOURCE_BITS with above PCI ROM.  */
#define IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED		(1<<4)	/* Do not move resource */
#define IORESOURCE_PCI_EA_BEI		(1<<5)	/* BAR Equivalent Indicator */

we can add

IORESOURCE_PRIV_WINDOWS			(1<<6)

I think previous method was more extendable. How do you think?
