case A:
bus 0: --- bus X --- device Y
if the BIOS only assign range to to BUS X bridge with 0xB0000, and
device Y is not assigned.  then with Bojorn's patch, device Y can not
get right resource allocated on first try.

pci assign unassign code could use range like [mem 0xfed20000-0xffffffff] wrongly.
