Certainly we won't be able to update ia64 platforms ACPI tables, so we would end up with two platforms handling IO resources in different ways unless I am missing something here. BTW, why would we add offset to res->start only if TypeTranslation is clear ? Is not that something we would do just to make things "work" ? That flag has no bearing on the offset, only on the resource type AFAIK. This without taking into account ARM64 systems shipping with ACPI tables that does not set the TypeTranslation at present. On top of that, I noticed that core ACPI code handles Sparse Translation (ie _TRS), that should be considered meaningful only if _TTP is set (and that's not checked). Thoughts ?
