Now there are two kinds of additional resources in the list: bridge
resource and SR-IOV resource. Here we just want to fix the
additional alignment for bridge. But if SR-IOV resource get the
flag IORESOURCE_STARTALIGN which is not only for bridge, the
current check seems to be wrong. And kernel parameter
"resource_alignment" could set IORESOURCE_STARTALIGN for
SR-IOV resource with my next patch applied.

Thanks,
Yongji
