Hi Kjetil,

This isn't for regular PCI BARs (Yinghai did apply it to some regular BARs
in the v1 patches, but I think that was a mistake). This is for scenarios
like this:

pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0xc0000000-0xffffffff]
pci 0000:00:01.0: bridge window [mem 0xbdf00000-0xddefffff 64bit pref]
pci 0000:01:00.0: reg 0x10: [mem 0xc0000000-0xcfffffff pref]

The 00:01.0 window is illegal: it starts before the host bridge window, so
we have to assume the [0xbdf00000-0xbfffffff] region is inaccessible. We
can make it legal by clipping it to [mem 0xc0000000-0xddefffff 64bit pref].

Linux should never assign an illegal bridge window like this, but some
firmware does, and the idea is to make a minimal change (clip the window)
before resorting to the big hammer of reassigning resources from scratch.
