Yongji Xie e3adec72a3 PCI: Don't resize resources when realigning all devices in system
The "pci=resource_alignment" argument aligns BARs of designated devices by
artificially increasing their size.  Increasing the size increases the
alignment and prevents other resources from being assigned in the same
alignment region, e.g., in the same page, but it can break drivers that use
the BAR size to locate things, e.g., ilo_map_device() does this:

  off = pci_resource_len(pdev, bar) - 0x2000;

The new pcibios_default_alignment() interface allows an arch to request
that *all* BARs in the system be aligned to a larger size.  In this case,
we don't need to artificially increase the resource size because we know
every BAR of every device will be realigned, so nothing will share the same
alignment region.

Use IORESOURCE_STARTALIGN to request realignment of PCI BARs when we know
we're realigning all BARs in the system.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
