bus memory and I/O space access functions/macros, to be used by
machine-independent code for more sane access to bus resources.
New functions will be added to this set, in the future, as appropriate,
but this is a good starting set. Defines:
bus_{io,mem}_{map,unmap}
bus_{io,mem}_{read,write}_{1,2,4,8}
functions, and several types to go with them.
(soon to be documented on mailing lists; eventually in section 9 manual
pages), most importantly:
(1) support interrupt pin swizzling on non-i386 systems with
PCI-PCI bridges (per PPB spec; done, but meaningless, on i386).
(2) provide pci_{io,mem}_find(), to determine what I/O or memory
space is described by a given PCI configuration space
mapping register.
(3) provide pci_intr_map(), pci_intr_string(), and
pci_intr_{,dis}establish() to manipulate and print info about
PCI interrupts.
(4) make pci functions take as an argument a machine-dependent
cookie, to allow more flexibility in implementation.
(1) use pci_{io,mem}_find(), to determine what I/O or memory
space is described by a given PCI configuration space
mapping register, and bus_{io,mem}_map() to map it.
(2) use pci_intr_map(), pci_intr_string(), and
pci_intr_{,dis}establish() to manipulate and print info about
PCI interrupts.
(5) make pci functions take as an argument a machine-dependent
cookie, to allow more flexibility in implementation.

(use of other PCI functions, etc., left unchanged.)

(4) deprecate the pci_map_* functions, and provide them only
as compatibility interfaces (in pci_compat.c) which will
eventually go away, implemented as wrappers around
the functions described above.
