[PATCH 1/1] PCI: ignore failure to preallocate minimal resourcesto hotplug bridges

PCI: ignore failure to preallocate minimal resources to
hotplug bridges

Linux tries to pre-allocate minimal resources to hotplug
bridges. This works fine as long as there are enough
resources to satisfy all other genuine resource
requirements. However if enough resources are not
available to satisfy the pre-allocation, the
resource-allocator reports errors and returns failure.

This patch distinguishes between must-need resources and
nice-to-have resources. Any failure to allocate
nice-to-have resources are ignored.

This behavior can be particularly useful to trigger
automatic reallocation, if the OS discovers genuine
resource allocation conflicts or genuine unallocated
BARs caused by not-so-smart allocation behavior of the
native BIOS.

The motivation for this patch is due a issue reported in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15960
