Since 2.6.36 (253d2e5498), we've disabled MEM & IO decoding while we size
BARs (except for host bridge devices).  These patches tweak this in two
ways:

1) We only kept decoding disabled while sizing the low-order dword
of 64-bit BARs.  I think we should keep it disabled while we do the
high-order dword also.

2) I think we should also disable decoding while updating 64-bit BARs,
e.g., when we move a device into an aperture of an upstream bridge.  I'm
only proposing to disable decoding for 64-bit BAR updates because 32-bit
ones can be done atomically, while 64-bit updates require two writes and
the half-written state is a potential problem.

I'm considering these changes for the 3.6 merge window, which is
approaching fast, so let me know if you see issues with either of these.
