IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED is set in pci_ea_set_flags():
 
	+static unsigned long pci_ea_set_flags(struct pci_dev *dev, u8 prop)
	+{
	+	unsigned long flags = IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED;
	+
	+

Which is called in pci_ea_read(), and passed to res->flags (if there aren't any errors):

	+
	+	/* Try to use primary properties, otherwise fall back to secondary */
	+	flags = pci_ea_set_flags(dev, PCI_EA_PP(dw0));
	+	if (!flags)
	+		flags = pci_ea_set_flags(dev, PCI_EA_SP(dw0));
	+

	...

	+	res->flags = flags;
