This looks reasonable to me.

However, the use of "r->parent" to determine whether the resource is
already allocated is nothing specific to x86. So I think we might be
missing an opportunity to make this more consistent across
architectures. I looked at other callers of pci_claim_resource() for
bridge and ROM resources, and it looks like we might be able to make
similar changes in:

frv pcibios_allocate_bus_resources()
ia64 pcibios_fixup_resources() (via pcibios_fixup_bridge_resources())
mn10300 pcibios_allocate_bus_resources()
mn10300 pcibios_assign_resources() (ROM)
mn10300 pcibios_fixup_device_resources()
parisc lba_fixup_bus()

I really hate the idea of fixing something for x86 but not for other
arches, so maybe somebody could take a deeper look at this and see if
it would make sense to change the other arches, too.
