pci_resource_start() doesn't give you a PCI bus address; it gives you
a CPU physical address.  You ioremap() that address if you want a CPU
to access the BAR MMIO space.

You can use pcibios_resource_to_bus() to convert the CPU physical
address from the pci_dev.resource[] back to a PCI bus address.
sym_iomap_device() does something similar to what you're asking about.
