PCI legacy resource fix
Since commit 368c73d4f689dae0807d0a2aa74c61fd2b9b075f the kernel will try
to update the non-writeable BAR registers 0..3 of PIIX4 IDE adapters if
pci_assign_unassigned_resources() is used to do full resource assignment of
the bus. This fails because in the PIIX4 these BAR registers have
implicitly assumed values and read back as zero; it used to work because
the kernel used to just write zero to that register the read back value did
match what was written.
The fix is a new resource flag IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED used to mark a resource
as non-movable. This will also be useful to keep other import system
resources from being moved around - for example system consoles on PCI
busses.
