Yes, the generic host claims the apertures at DT probing time.

It fixes a problem in the current tree (I mean when the PCI pull is
merged - it contains code that enables PCI host generic on arm64),
since without it PROBE_ONLY systems (ie PCI host generic on kvmtool) would
try to enable resources and fail, since the resources were not claimed.

It works the same way as arm, I will rework both arches when I am done
refactoring the resource claiming implementation.

Will picked it up already I do not know what's the best way to
merge it I guess it can go via the arm64 tree if you do not have any
objections.

Thank you !
