Try just removing the IORESOURCE_BUSY. As mentioned, if we expect the PCI BAR's to work with the e820 resources, then BUSY really is simply not right any more. Not that I think it should matter either.. The ones that are added _early_ should be IORESOURCE_BUSY (ie the ones that cover RAM), but the others we now expect to nest with PCI BARs. But since we add them after we have parsed the BAR's, I don't even see why the BUSY bit should even matter - we've already added the fixed BARs, and any newly allocated non-fixed ones shouldn't be allocated in e820 areas _regardless_ of whether the BUSY bit is set or not. So pls explain why it matters?
