David Gibson 3e4ac96871 pseries: Limit PCI host bridge "index" value
pseries guests can have large numbers of PCI host bridges.  To avoid the
user having to specify a number of different configuration values for every
one, the device supports an "index" property which is a shorthand setting
the various window and configuration addresses from a predefined sensible
set.

There are some problems with the details at present:
  * The "index" propery is signed, but negative values will create PCI
windows below where we expect, potentially colliding with other devices
  * No limit is imposed on the "index" property and large values can
translate to extremely large window addresses.  With PCI passthrough in
particular this can mean we exceed various mapping and physical address
limits causing the guest host bridge to not work in strange ways.

This patch addresses this, by making "index" unsigned, and imposing a
limit.  Currently the limit allows indices from 0..255 which is probably
enough host bridges for the time being.  It's fairly easy to extend if
we discover we need more.
