The resource_alignment will releases memory resources allocated by firmware so that kernel can reassign new resources later on. But this will cause the problem that no resources can be allocated by kernel if PCI_PROBE_ONLY was set, e.g. on pSeries platform because PCI_PROBE_ONLY force kernel to use firmware setup and not to reassign any resources. To solve this problem, this patch ignores resource_alignment if PCI_PROBE_ONLY was set.

How would a user have any idea if this is set?
