[patch 2.5] PCI: allow alternative methods for probing the BARs

Hopefully this patch should solve most problems with probing the BARs.
The changes are quite minimal as everything still is done in one pass.
- Added another level of fixups (PCI_FIXUP_EARLY), called with only
device/vendor IDs and class code filled in, before sizing the BARs.
- pci_read_bases won't probe the BAR if the respective resource has
non-zero flags.

This allows to implement numerous alternative probing methods for
particular architecture/device/BAR. Some of possible variants:
get information from firmware and don't touch the BAR at all;
write the BAR value into respective resource->start and set
resource->end according to the chip manual without probing;
disable the device, call generic pci_read_bases(), re-enable the device;
probe with value other than 0xffffffff and so on.

Besides, this would easily solve one interesting (though unrelated) problem.
There are quite a few devices (IDE controllers, AGP aperture stuff,
some bridges) that significantly change their PCI header including BARs,
class code etc. depending on some configuration bits, so it might be useful
to program the device into desired state before probing.

Ivan.
