    Respect the BIOS/firmware's notion of acceptable address ranges for PCI · 34ff71ee
    John Baldwin authored
    resource allocation on x86 platforms:
    - Add a new helper API that Host-PCI bridge drivers can use to restrict
      resource allocation requests to a set of address ranges for different
      resource types.
    - For the ACPI Host-PCI bridge driver, use Producer address range resources
      in _CRS to enumerate valid address ranges for a given Host-PCI bridge.
      This can be disabled by including "hostres" in the debug.acpi.disabled
      tunable.
    - For the MPTable Host-PCI bridge driver, use entries in the extended
      MPTable to determine the valid address ranges for a given Host-PCI
      bridge.  This required adding code to parse extended table entries.
    
    Similar to the new PCI-PCI bridge driver, these changes are only enabled
    if the NEW_PCIB kernel option is enabled (which is enabled by default on
    amd64 and i386).
