ACPI: pci_root: check _CRS, then _BBN for downstream bus number
To find a host bridge's downstream bus number, we currently look at _BBN first. If _BBN returns a bus number we've already seen, we conclude that _BBN was wrong and look for a bus number in _CRS. However, the spec[1] (figure 5-5 and the example in sec 9.12.1) and an ACPI FAQ[2] suggest that the OS should use _CRS to discover the bus number range, and that _BBN is really intended to bootstrap _CRS methods that reference PCI opregions. This patch makes us always look at _CRS first. If _CRS doesn't supply a bus number, we look at _BBN. If _BBN doesn't exist, we default to zero. This makes the behavior consistent regardless of device discovery order. Previously, if A and B had duplicate _BBNs and we found A first, we'd only look at B's _CRS, whereas if we found B first, we'd only look at A's _CRS. I'm told that Windows discovers host bridge bus numbers using _CRS, so it should be fairly safe to rely on this BIOS functionality. This patch also removes two misleading messages: we printed the "Wrong _BBN value, reboot and use option 'pci=noacpi'" message before looking at _CRS, so we would likely find the bus number in _CRS, the system would work fine, and the user would be confused. The "PCI _CRS %d overrides _BBN 0" message incorrectly assumes _BBN was zero, and it's useless anyway because we print the segment/bus number a few lines later.
