PCI: Don't resize resources when realigning all devices in system
The "pci=resource_alignment" argument aligns BARs of designated devices by artificially increasing their size. Increasing the size increases the alignment and prevents other resources from being assigned in the same alignment region, e.g., in the same page, but it can break drivers that use the BAR size to locate things, e.g., ilo_map_device() does this: off = pci_resource_len(pdev, bar) - 0x2000; The new pcibios_default_alignment() interface allows an arch to request that *all* BARs in the system be aligned to a larger size. In this case, we don't need to artificially increase the resource size because we know every BAR of every device will be realigned, so nothing will share the same alignment region. Use IORESOURCE_STARTALIGN to request realignment of PCI BARs when we know we're realigning all BARs in the system.
