We can't reserve these ranges, that's what I tried to explaine:
- kernel/resource.c isn't very consistently used
- the pci core will get pissed if there's suddenly a range in the middle
  of a bridge that it can't use
- nesting is allowed for resources, so this doesn't actually garuantee
  much

I just wanted to point out that ioremap does do any reserving, so not
enough by far.

We really have to stop using any mmio ranges before the pci remove
callback is finished.
