Tested.  I do have a problem with not assigning resources to new
bridges.

My plan to handle this currently is to do what the pci code does for
cardbus without resources.  To give them a fixed sized resource
assignment without looking downstream from the bridge.  The code
looks simple, and we have existing practice so it should not be too
bad to deal with.
