This patch introduces a new interface pci_select_resource() for PCI

It'd be nice if we didn't need to introduce any new API functions for this.
If we could just do:
struct pci_something pci_something_table[] = {
...
{
...
.dont_allocate_io_space = 1,
...
},
...
};
within each driver which wants it.
But I can't think of a suitable per-device-id structure with which we can
do that :(
My another idea was to use pci quirks. In this approach, we don't
need to introduce any new API. But I gave up this idea because it
looked abuse of pci quirks.
Anyway, I try to think about new ideas we don't need to introduce
any new API.
Thanks,
