Now that we try to reallocate it, you get this in the log: pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 3: error updating (0x40000004 != 0xe0000004) pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 3: error updating (high 0x000001 != 0x000000) ie now the code _tried_ to update the BAR to point to 0x1_4000_0000 instead, but the hardware refused, and it is still at 0x0_e000_0000. So Yinghai's patch "worked", but it worked by doing nothing. See my earlier guess about locked read-only resources a few emails back. IOW, I'm not at all surprised. I really do suspect that that BAR is some very special "this is the HT->PCIE region" BAR.
