Thanks, I won't be touching the acpi tables then and I will assume the
hack had a problem. It was trying to remap the io range of the second root
port  to the first port io address map.

I was getting a warning from resource.c

Btw, when I tested the io ranges before, kernel didn't accept anything
below 1k like 0. That is why my range starts at 1k.
