This closes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10893
which is a showstopper for X development on alpha.

The generic HAVE_PCI_MMAP code (drivers/pci-sysfs.c) is not
very useful since we have to deal with three different types
of MMIO address spaces: sparse and dense mappings for old
ev4/ev5 machines and "normal" 1:1 MMIO space (bwx) for ev56 and
later.
Also "write combine" mappings are meaningless on alpha - roughly
speaking, alpha does write combining, IO reordering and other
optimizations by default, unless user splits IO accesses
with memory barriers.

I think the cleanest way to deal with resource files on alpha
is to convert the default no-op pci_create_resource_files() and
pci_remove_resource_files() for !HAVE_PCI_MMAP case into __weak
functions and override them with alpha specific ones.

Another alpha hook is needed for "legacy_" resource files
to handle sparse addressing (pci_adjust_legacy_attr).

With the "standard" resourceN files on ev56/ev6 libpciaccess
works "out of the box". Handling of resourceN_sparse/resourceN_dense
files on older machines obviously requires some userland work.

Sparse/dense stuff has been tested on sx164 (pca56/pyxis, normally
uses bwx IO) with the kernel hacked into "cia compatible" mode.
