[PATCH] PCI bus number management

I have a patch to teach the PCI bus code and PCI-PCI bridge driver to manage
PCI bus numbers. The approach is somewhat similar to how NEW_PCIB manages I/O
windows for briges. Each bridge creates an rman to manage the bus numbers for
all buses and bridges that live below it. Each bus allocates a bus resource
from its parent bridge, and child bridges allocate their ranges from their
parent devices. At the "top" of the PCI tree, the Host-PCI bridges allocate
their respective bus ranges from their PCI domain/segment. There isn't really
a device node for PCI domains, so I created a helper API that basically auto-
creates a PCI bus rman for each domain on first use and then sub-allocates
from that for Host-PCI bridges.
The current patch (with some extra debugging) is at
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/pci_bus_rman.3.patch
I would like to commit this to HEAD soon but thought I would post it for some
pre-commit testing for the brave. :) If you are really brave, try booting
with 'hw.pci.clear_buses=1' which will force the kernel to renumber all buses
in the system. If you are really, really brave, try booting with
'hw.pci.clear_bars=1', 'hw.pci.clear_buses=1', and 'hw.pci.clear_pcib=1'. (My
laptop survives with all those set)
Note that the patch only enables bus number management on amd64 and i386. I
believe ia64 just needs to define PCI_RES_BUS for this to work since it
mandates ACPI. Porting this to other platforms requires handling PCI_RES_BUS
rseources for Host-PCI bridges in bus_alloc_resource(), bus_adjust_resource(),
and bus_release_resource().
