Hi Rafael,
	When reverting to the behavior before v3.19, I found a simpler
solution. The logic before v3.19 is:
on x86 and IA64, all IO port and MMIO resources assigned to PCI host
bridge are available to child bus/devices, except one special case to
filter out IO port[0xCF8-0xCFF] for PCI configuration space access.

And with pre-v3.19 kernels, all IO port defined by IO and fixed_IO
resource descriptors are ignored to filter out IO port[0xCF8-0xCFF].

So I plan to make following change to revert to the behavior before
v3.19:
1) make acpi_dev_filter_resource_type() filter descriptors based on
   descriptor type, and don't check consumer_producer flag anymore.
2) use IORESOURCE_IO_FIXED flag to filter out io and fixed_io resource
   descriptors.
3) x86 ACPI pci host bridge driver calls acpi_dev_filter_resource_type()
   with flag IORESOURCE_IO_FIXED,

By this way, we could keep acpi_dev_filter_resource_type()
as a generic interface and could be reused. And the change
is small too. Any comments?

Thanks!
