It is very good that you were able to merge the downstream prefetchable BARs into the normal MMIO window. Though looking at the original thread I really wonder if something else is wrong here as well. The ethernet should not have only prefetchable BARs. For instance, I found this link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448712 Which shows a more resonable arrangement: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
