ACPI Address Space Descriptors (used in _CRS) have a Consumer/Producer
bit that is supposed to distinguish regions that are consumed directly
by a device from those that are forwarded ("produced") by a bridge.
But BIOSes have apparently not used this consistently, and Windows
seems to ignore it, so I think Linux should ignore it as well.
I can't point to any of these supposed broken BIOSes, but since we
now rely on _CRS by default, I think it's safer to ignore this bit
from the start.
Here are details of my experiments with how Windows handles it:
