Can you send your v3 ?

I didn't submit my latest version because I recalled Ben's objections,
and I never got around asking you if you plan to send a new version
of your patch.

I had to drop the idea of using IORESOURCE_DISABLED; pretty much all
kernel code uses the "!flags" test to identify unused resources.
I tried to change that, but just could not get it to work.
I ended up introducing a new bus flag instead, PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_IO,
which works quite nicely since it propagates to child buses.

Thanks,
Guenter
