x86/PCI: coalesce overlapping host bridge windows

Some BIOSes provide PCI host bridge windows that overlap, e.g.,

    pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xb0000000-0xffffffff]
    pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xafffffff-0xdfffffff]
    pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xf0000000-0xffffffff]

If we simply insert these as children of iomem_resource, the second window
fails because it conflicts with the first, and the third is inserted as a
child of the first, i.e.,

    b0000000-ffffffff PCI Bus 0000:00
      f0000000-ffffffff PCI Bus 0000:00

When we claim PCI device resources, this can cause collisions like this
if we put them in the first window:

    pci 0000:00:01.0: address space collision: [mem 0xff300000-0xff4fffff] conflicts with PCI Bus 0000:00 [mem 0xf0000000-0xffffffff]

Host bridge windows are top-level resources by definition, so it doesn't
make sense to make the third window a child of the first.  This patch
coalesces any host bridge windows that overlap.  For the example above,
the result is this single window:

    pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xafffffff-0xffffffff]

This fixes a 2.6.34 regression.
