This set adds a minimizing resource assignment algorithm. VMD domains
frequently have issues with default hotplug settings and large arrays of
drives such as those in JBOFs. This algorithm uses the default or
user-specified hotplug resource settings, then tries with minimal
settings using 256 for IO, and 1MB for MMIO and Prefetch, and finally
tries without additional hotplug resources as if the bridge were not
hotplug capable.

This set allows a resource constrained domain to at the very least
enumerate and attach drivers to devices, though may not result in
supportable hotplug slot if a device is not already occupied in the
slot.

Intel, please just allow us to opt-out of using VMD as VMD just makes
life miserable.  Thanks!
