PCI: clean up resource alignment management
Done per Linus' request and suggestions. Linus has explained that better than I'll be able to explain: On Thu, Mar 27, 2008 at 10:12:10AM -0700, Linus Torvalds wrote: > Actually, before we go any further, there might be a less intrusive > alternative: add just a couple of flags to the resource flags field (we > still have something like 8 unused bits on 32-bit), and use those to > implement a generic "resource_alignment()" routine. > > Two flags would do it: > > - IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN: size indicates alignment (regular PCI device > resources) > > - IORESOURCE_STARTALIGN: start field is alignment (PCI bus resources > during probing) > > and then the case of both flags zero (or both bits set) would actually be > "invalid", and we would also clear the IORESOURCE_STARTALIGN flag when we > actually allocate the resource (so that we don't use the "start" field as > alignment incorrectly when it no longer indicates alignment). > > That wouldn't be totally generic, but it would have the nice property of > automatically at least add sanity checking for that whole "res->start has > the odd meaning of 'alignment' during probing" and remove the need for a > new field, and it would allow us to have a generic "resource_alignment()" > routine that just gets a resource pointer. Besides, I removed IORESOURCE_BUS_HAS_VGA flag which was unused for ages.
