Thanks for catching that (and in the other patch as well). However, fixing it unveiled a bug which apparently requires me to change a bunch of things w.r.t. how we handle the configuration. At boot time, Linux (without probe only) reassigns bars without disabling the device response (it assumes that none of the devices it can configure are being used/accessed). This means that during the reassignment, bars from different or same devices can temporarily alias/overlap each other during boot time. And the current handling of PCI io/mmio region doesn't support that. I'll rework this to make things a little bit more flexible.
