The message changes like this:

  -PCI: Failed to allocate to allocate 0x0-0x3fff from PCI IO for PCI Bus 0000:00
  +pci_root PNP0A03:01: can't allocate [io  0x0000-0x3fff]

I don't think changing "PCI IO" to "io" is really a problem.  In fact,
strictly speaking, "PCI IO" is the wrong name for ioport_resource --
we're talking about a host bridge, and the upstream side is not PCI
at all.

However, I do think it would be more useful to mention the fact that
we failed to allocate a *window*, e.g., 

  pci_root PNP0A03:00: can't allocate host bridge window [io  0x0000-0x3fff]

I did consider keeping the PCI bus ("0000:00"), but I decided we
already have that information here:

  ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00)

and it doesn't seem worthwhile to me to repeat the bus number in all
the host bridge-related messages.  Right now, there's nothing to tie
the PCI0 to the PNP0A03:00 (and "PCI0" shouldn't be exposed to users
anyway), but someday when I finally convince Len to use dev_printk
in ACPI, it could look something like this:

  pci_root PNP0A03:00: PCI host bridge to pci_bus 0000:00
