pcmcia: do not autoadd root PCI bus resources
On the PCI root bus on the x86 architecture, the risk of hitting some strange system devices is too high: If a driver isn't loaded, the resources are not claimed; even if a driver is loaded, it may not request all resources or even the wrong one. We can neither trust the rest of the kernel nor ACPI/PNP and CRS parsing to get it right. Therefore, explicitly spell out what safeguards we provide, and add a safeguard to only use resources which are set up exclusively for the secondary PCI bus (non-subtractive mode): the risk of hitting system devices is quite low, as they usually aren't connected to the secondary PCI bus.
