powerpc/pci: Improve detection of unassigned bridge resources
When the powerpc PCI layer is not configured to re-assign everything, it currently fails to detect that a PCI to PCI bridge has been left unassigned by the firmware and tries to allocate resource for the default window values in the bridge (0...X) (with the notable exception of a hack we have in there that detects some Apple firmware unassigned bridge resources). This results in resource allocation failures, which are generally fixed up later on but it causes scary warnings in the logs and we have seen the fixup code fall over in some circumstances (a different issue to fix as well). This code improves that by providing a more complete & useful function to intuit that a bridge was left unassigned by the firmware, and thus force a full re-allocation by the PCI code without trying to allocate the existing useless resources first. The algorithm we use basically considers unassigned a window that starts at 0 (PCI address) if the corresponding address space enable bit is not set. In addition, for memory space, it considers such a resource unassigned also if the host bridge isn't configured to forward cycles to address 0 (ie, the resource basically overlaps main memory). This fixes a range of problems with things like Bare-Metal support on pSeries machines, or attempt to use partial firmware PCI setup. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
