Hi Andrew,

Although using pci_dev::resource[] is possible I do not like a
result for various reasons. I.e. I anticipate these:

  - pci_bar_get/set_addr() logic will get quite cryptic;
  - mismatch between pci_dev::resource[] 64 bit size and 
    32 bit BAR size. While it is okay right now it will
    be confusing once pci_dev::resource[] are reused as
    BAR validity flags;
  - architecture specific pci_probe() reworked to seed
    pci_dev::resource[] (and being invoked on all archs);

Overall, the current compact implementetion is going to turn
into a framework with not so obvious logic.

I suggest just polish v1 or drop the idea of checking BARs
altogether.

Thoughts?
