I plan to replace this patch with the following, which only sets
IORESOURCE_UNSET when we already have been clearing the bus region start
address. (This probably should have been a separate patch to begin with,
mea culpa.)

This is intended for the v3.15 merge window, so I made the minimal change
to reduce risk.

Thanks to Ming Lei for prompting me to look at this; I think the issue he
reported with the original patch is really a problem somewhere else that
the patch just happened to expose, but the original patch was more
aggressive than necessary, so this revision tones it down a bit.

PCI: Mark 64-bit resource as IORESOURCE_UNSET if we only support 32-bit

From: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@xxxxxxxxxx>

If we don't support 64-bit addresses, i.e., CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is not
set, we can't deal with BARs above 4GB. In this case we already pretend
the BAR contained zero; this patch also sets IORESOURCE_UNSET so we can try
to reallocate it later.

I don't think this is exactly correct: what we care about here are *bus*
addresses, not CPU addresses, so the tests of sizeof(resource_size_t)
probably should be on sizeof(dma_addr_t) instead. But this is what's been
in -next, so we'll fix that later.
