Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] PCI: endpoint: Add BAR subrange mapping support

Extend the PCI endpoint core to support mapping subranges within a BAR.
Introduce a new 'submap' field and a 'use_submap' flag in struct
pci_epf_bar so an endpoint function driver can request inbound mappings
that fully cover the BAR.

The submap array describes the complete BAR layout (no overlaps and no
gaps are allowed to avoid exposing untranslated address ranges). This
provides the generic infrastructure needed to map multiple logical
regions into a single BAR at different offsets, without assuming a
controller-specific inbound address translation mechanism.

No controller-specific implementation is added in this commit.
