The problem is that init_i8259 doesn't have the right resource for doing the request_resource, if ioport_resource starting from 0x0000 is already taken by a PCI host bridge. I could probably write a patch, which adds a parameter to init_i8259 for the resource, where the request_resource is correct. No idea, whether this is worth the efford. Opions ?
