I stumbled upon the hierarchy connection. That's all handled with the
platform_notify() end of things when device_add() is done on the pci
device. I was thinking we could take advantage of this when adding
resources, but a struct resource has no struct device. It's just a
name description for the resource at hand. However, platform devices
are added when the ACPI tree is parsed along with adding the resources
associated with them (PciBarTarget would be helpful here) so those
resources are sitting in the resource tree when PCI BARs are added.

The following suggestion is sort of hacky, but it's the best I could
come up with provided the currently supported infrastructure. In
pci_claim_resource() do request_resource_conflict() as before. If it
fails do the following: 1. check if the device has an ACPI companion.
2. For any children hanging off the ACPI companion device. check if
that device's name matches the conflict resource's name. 3. If so,
insert_resource_conflict() to place the BAR within the tree itself.

Thoughts or suggestions are welcomed.

Thank you.
