Hmm, what the PCI-PCI bridge driver does with NEW_PCIB is to allocate a single
resource from its parent bus for each I/O window it decodes.  It then creates
a rman that is populated with the addresses in that resource and suballocates
from that rman.  This allows child devices to allocate non-overlapping resources
exclusively (they could also do shareable mappings for subsets if applicable).

Right now NEW_PCIB assumes it can pass one of these "child" resources up to the
nexus to have it "mapped" via bus_activate_resource().  However, the recently
added bus_map_resource() provides a cleaner way to do this where a bridge device
can request a mapping for the sub-range of the resource on its "upstream"
side that corresponds to the range used by a resource for a child device.
