Hi Gilles,

Thanks for the patch!  I reworked it a little bit to simplify the code
in pci_alloc_child_bus().  Can you test it and make sure I didn't
break anything?

    PCI: Check whether bridges allow access to extended config space
    
    Even if a device supports extended config space, i.e., it is a PCI-X Mode 2
    or a PCI Express device, the extended space may not be accessible if
    there's a conventional PCI bus in the path to it.
    
    We currently figure that out in pci_cfg_space_size() by reading the first
    dword of extended config space.  On most platforms that returns ~0 data if
    the space is inaccessible, but it may set error bits in PCI status
    registers, and on some platforms it causes exceptions that we currently
    don't recover from.
    
    For example, a PCIe-to-conventional PCI bridge treats config transactions
    with a non-zero Extended Register Address as an Unsupported Request on PCIe
    and a received Master-Abort on the destination bus (see PCI Express to
    PCI/PCI-X Bridge spec, r1.0, sec 4.1.3).
    
    A sample case is a LS1043A CPU (NXP QorIQ Layerscape) platform with the
    following bus topology:
    
      LS1043 PCIe Root Port
        -> PEX8112 PCIe-to-PCI bridge (doesn't support ext cfg on PCI side)
          -> PMC slot connector (for legacy PMC modules)
    
    With a PMC module topology as follows:
    
      PMC connector
        -> PCI-to-PCIe bridge
          -> PCIe switch (4 ports)
            -> 4 PCIe devices (one on each port)
    
    The PCIe devices on the PMC module support extended config space, but we
    can't reach it because the PEX8112 can't generate accesses to the extended
    space on its secondary bus.  Attempts to access it cause Unsupported
    Request errors, which result in synchronous aborts on this platform.
    
    To avoid these errors, check whether bridges are capable of generating
    extended config space addresses on their secondary interfaces.  If they
    can't, we restrict devices below the bridge to only the 256-byte
    PCI-compatible config space.
