Actually, looking at this more carefully, I think
pci_reassign_bridge_resources() needs to do /something/ to ensure that
the resources are reshuffled if needed when the resized BAR overlaps
with another one.
Bjorn, did you have any thoughts on this? I could make
pci_reassign_bridge_resources() take a pci_bus, and handle the root
bus as a special case. Alternatively, pci_resize_resource() could make
the distinction, but it will probably need to duplicate some of the
reassignment that goes on in pci_reassign_bridge_resources() as well.
