Sorry for the delay. I did work on this, but I don't see how this
can work. pcibios_init() marks its reservations as not busy, so the
subsequent PNP request doesn't fail, even if it clashes.
The PNP system driver is an fs_initcall(), so it already happens after
pcibios_init():
1) register ACPI PCI root bridge driver, which enumerates PCI
devices behind the bridge
2) pcibios_init() -> pcibios_resource_survey() -> request_resource()
3) register PNP system driver -> request_region()
4) register intel8x0 sound driver and reserve resources
(conflict happens here)
We have reservations in this order:
febf8000-febfbfff : 0000:00:1b.0 -- from pcibios_resource_survey (!busy)
febfa000-febfac00 : pnp 00:08 -- from PNP system driver (!busy)
febf8000-febfbfff : ICH HD audio -- fails because it spans the PNP region
The PNP reservation succeeds even though the PCI reservation has
already happened, so I don't see how we can do this without a
quirk that ignores the bogus PNP resources.
