BAR allocation by BIOS/UEFI/bootloader/firmware may be non-optimal and
it may even clash with the kernel's BAR assignment algorithm.
For example, if no space was reserved for SR-IOV BARs, and this bridge
window is packed between immovable BARs (so it is unable to extend),
and if this window can't be moved, the next PCI rescan will fail, as
the kernel tries to find a space for all the BARs, including SR-IOV.
With this patch the kernel will use its own methods of BAR allocating
when possible, increasing the chances of successful hotplug.
Also add a workaround for implicitly used video BARs on x86.
