When using resource_alignment kernel parameter, the current
implement reassigns the alignment by changing resources' size
which can potentially break some drivers. For example, the driver
uses the size to locate some register whose length is related
to the size.

This patch adds a new option "noresize" for the parameter to
solve this problem.

Why do you want to keep this code that changes the size of the resource?
Can't we just *always* use IORESOURCE_STARTALIGN as below?  It seems like
that would potentially fix bugs, as you mention.

I think it'd be better if we didn't change the size, even if the user
didn't specify "noresize@".  We wouldn't even need the "noresize@" option
then.

Or is there some reason to keep the resize?  If it's just a question of
being afraid to change the existing behavior because of the risk, I'm
willing to take that risk.

Hi Bjorn,

Thanks for your time. The reason is just like what you said.  I'm worried
that this may break the existing behavior.  I'll updated this patch as
you suggested.

Regards,
Yongji
