PCI: Rewrite bridge window head alignment function
The calculation of bridge window head alignment is done by calculate_mem_align() [*]. With the default bridge window alignment, it is used for both head and tail alignment. The selected head alignment does not always result in tight-fitting resources (gap at d4f00000-d4ffffff): d4800000-dbffffff : PCI Bus 0000:06 d4800000-d48fffff : PCI Bus 0000:07 d4800000-d4803fff : 0000:07:00.0 d4800000-d4803fff : nvme d4900000-d49fffff : PCI Bus 0000:0a d4900000-d490ffff : 0000:0a:00.0 d4900000-d490ffff : r8169 d4910000-d4913fff : 0000:0a:00.0 d4a00000-d4cfffff : PCI Bus 0000:0b d4a00000-d4bfffff : 0000:0b:00.0 d4a00000-d4bfffff : 0000:0b:00.0 d4c00000-d4c07fff : 0000:0b:00.0 d4d00000-d4dfffff : PCI Bus 0000:15 d4d00000-d4d07fff : 0000:15:00.0 d4d00000-d4d07fff : xhci-hcd d4e00000-d4efffff : PCI Bus 0000:16 d4e00000-d4e7ffff : 0000:16:00.0 d4e80000-d4e803ff : 0000:16:00.0 d4e80000-d4e803ff : ahci d5000000-dbffffff : PCI Bus 0000:0c This has not caused problems (for years) with the default bridge window tail alignment that grossly over-estimates the required tail alignment leaving more tail room than necessary. With the introduction of relaxed tail alignment that leaves no extra tail room whatsoever, any gaps will immediately turn into assignment failures. Introduce head alignment calculation that ensures no gaps are left and apply the new approach when using relaxed alignment. We may want to consider using it for the normal alignment eventually, but as the first step, solve only the problem with the relaxed tail alignment. ([*] I don't understand the algorithm in calculate_mem_align().)
