The host controller drivers should claim the apertures forwarded to
the PCI bus.  For pci-host-generic, this happens when
gen_pci_parse_request_of_pci_ranges() calls devm_request_resource().
But that doesn't do anything for the BARs of the PCI devices
themselves, of course.

If this patch fixes a problem that will occur in the future, when we
add arm/arm64 code to claim BARs, let's make this patch part of that
series.  If it fixes a problem in the current tree, I'll merge it now,
but so far I haven't been able to make the connection between this
patch and a problem in the current code.
