If there's a specific broken BIOS, I'd prefer a quirk-type
mechanism to work around it.

I agree.  I don't think blacklisting PNP0A03 is the correct solution.
Any ACPI device can have a producer resource.  The next time we
find a non-PNP0A03 bridge device with a producer resource, we'll
just trip over the same problem again.

Adam, Len, or Shaohua, can you explain the reason for preferring
a blacklist entry?
