Yeah, that code was actually written with a look at what the Intel
driver does. I don't really like that it goes over all resources and
reserves them individually (not only because it is not hotplug-safe).

I have to check whether there is a nice and generic way to find out the
root-bridge windows and just reserve them in the iova-space. That would
be easier and more reliable.
