It's Russell's call on this if you want to touch bios32.c...

I may be wrong, but I don't think even mvebu needs this as part of
pcibios_align_resource. pcibios_align_resource is called for every
device, but all mvebu should care about is the alignment of the root
bus BARs (and corresponding MBus windows) which can be handled in
probe. I can't see how regions within there matter. But that is just
my 10 minute look at it.

If not, then I think align_resource should be a common per host
function ptr. In other words, think about how to provide a default
implementation of pcibios_align_resource. They almost all look the
same to me with the same I/O 0x3xx address handling.
