This series replaces the fixed-size pnp_resource_table with a
linked list of resources.

This iteration fixes a null pointer dereference Andrew found
on a PNPBIOS machine.

Because of that problem, Andrew dropped the following patches
from the -mm tree (these were patches 6-8 of the v1 series):

  pnp-replace-pnp_resource_table-with-dynamically-allocated-resources.patch
  pnp-remove-ratelimit-on-add-resource-failures.patch
  pnp-dont-sort-by-type-in-sys-resources.patch

This posting doesn't repeat patches 1-5 from the original v1 series;
the first is already in Linus's tree, and the rest are still in -mm.
