The main benefit of using ACPI host bridge window information is that
we can do better resource allocation in systems with multiple host bridges,
e.g., http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14183

Sometimes we need _CRS information even if we only have one host bridge,
e.g., https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/341681

Most of these systems are relatively new, so this patch turns on
"pci=use_crs" only on machines with a BIOS date of 2008 or newer.
