PCI: Allow read/write access to sysfs I/O port resources

PCI sysfs resource files currently only allow mmap'ing.  On x86 this
works fine for memory backed BARs, but doesn't work at all for I/O
port backed BARs.  Add read/write to I/O port PCI sysfs resource
files to allow userspace access to these device regions.

 The read only files are informational, writes to them will be ignored, with
 the exception of the 'rom' file.  Writable files can be used to perform
 actions on the device (e.g. changing config space, detaching a device).
 mmapable files are available via an mmap of the file at offset 0 and can be
 used to do actual device programming from userspace.  Note that some platforms
 don't support mmapping of certain resources, so be sure to check the return
