PCI legacy resource fix
Since commit 368c73d4 the kernel will try to update the non-writeable BAR registers 0..3 of PIIX4 IDE adapters if pci_assign_unassigned_resources() is used to do full resource assignment of the bus. This fails because in the PIIX4 these BAR registers have implicitly assumed values and read back as zero; it used to work because the kernel used to just write zero to that register the read back value did match what was written. The fix is a new resource flag IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED used to mark a resource as non-movable. This will also be useful to keep other import system resources from being moved around - for example system consoles on PCI busses.
