The patch changes function pbus_size_io() and pbus_size_mem() to
do resource (I/O, memory and prefetchable memory) reassignment
based on the minimal alignments for the p2p bridge, which was
retrieved by function window_alignment().

It's not that I missed the previous discussion, it's just that I
didn't think we had come up with a clear explanation for why we needed
two kinds of alignment hooks and a way to decide when to use one vs.
the other.  It might be clear in *your* head, but it's not clear to me
yet :)

This is a good start.  You're saying that "large" alignments must be
done in phase 1 with pcibios_window_alignment() and
pcibios_align_resource() can do "small" adjustments in phase 2.  How
do we quantify that?  *Can* it be quantified?

I think pcibios_align_resource() is primarily used to deal with
devices that only do partial decoding, e.g., ISA 10-bit I/O port
resources.  By the time we call it, I think the upstream aperture has
already been determined, so the allocation may fail completely.

It seems like we can't accurately do even the resource reservation
part without knowing what pcibios_align_resource() is going to do.

Why is io_align 4K instead of 1K here?

This doesn't seem right.  Only the non-1k path uses
window_alignment(), so there's no way for the platform to influence
the alignment of bridges that support 1k windows.  I think the
io_window_1k checking needs to be moved from pbus_size_io() to
window_alignment().

Maybe you can then make the min_align handling in pbus_size_io() more
similar to that in pbus_size_mem(), e.g.,

    min_align = 0;
    ...
    min_align = max(min_align, window_alignment(bus, b_res->flags & mask));
