The reservation happens in drivers/pnp/system.c, and it does mark the region as "not busy." I think the problem here is that the PCI BAR is bigger and spans the region reported by ACPI: [ 22.906654] system 00:08: iomem range 0xfebfa000-0xfebfac00 has been reserved [ 31.133141] PCI: Unable to reserve mem region #1:4000@febf8000 for device 0000:00:1b.0 We can easily add more BIOSes to the PNP quirk. I really don't want to use the earlier quirk that scanned PCI devices from a PNP quirk. I think that's just wrong because PNP (which conceptually includes ACPI) is what tells us about PCI root bridges.
