arm64 (and arm) does not claim resources in arch code, they are always
assigned in the respective host controllers (or the pcibios on arm),
except for the PCI generic host when in PROBE_ONLY mode, where resources
are neither claimed nor assigned (the reason for this patch to exist).

Certainly something to consolidate as part of the rework we talked
about at LPC (PCI ACPI probing is yet another reason to consolidate it).

I am working on this, in particular I want to test how claiming the
resources by default will impact ARM systems.

For the records, Will kindly provided me with an Alpha box so that I can
test on it too.

It is not there, it is done in the host controllers by assigning the
resources (which also "claim" them by assigning the parent pointer).

Thanks,
