Why expand the number of resources in struct pci_dev instead of putting
the new resources in struct pci_iov?

Yes, it's supposed to be in the 'struct pci_iov', and the resources used to be there in early version. But later I found all resource related functions such as pci_assign_resource, pdev_sort_resources, pbus_size_mem, etc. assume the resources are bundled with 'struct pci_dev' and address them using their indexes. Encapsulating resources into 'pci_iov' will impact all these functions. And I think we can postpone the change of these functions until the PCIM comes out, if the IOV is the only one who uses non-standard resources.
