Subsequent patch. The goal is to get rid of the bulk of the custom
resource allocation code in arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/pci-ioda.c
where we basically re-implement it all (well I did) but without handling
all the special & corner cases that the generic code does.

The root of the problem is the need to segment the MMIO and IO spaces
based on a somewhat fixed (HW driven) segment size and have devices
isolated in their own groups of segments.

This is related to our "EEH" advanced error handling scheme which among
other things can properly connect errors triggered by MMIO (target
aborts, UE responses, etc...) to the actual device or driver.

We don't have such hooks. This is the less invasive approach as far as I
can tell.
