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.
