Agree, I'm only concerned that if this ECAM config space gets added to
the list of pci_host_bridge windows it will be indistinguishable from
IORESOURCE_MEM resources and pci_create_root_bus() will add it to the
bus and allow devices present on that bus to be assigned addresses from
that range. Which might not be what one wants for certain BARs.
I've had an aborted attempt to parse ECAM ranges in one version of my
series (granted, I was trying to hack the IORESOURCE_TYPE_BITS as well)
and things got horribly wrong quickly. I could give this patch a go with
my series tomorrow when I'm in the office and report back.
