Right.  Even if we had this long-term solution, we'd still have
Stephane's current problem, because the PNP0C02 _CRS is still wrong.

We do have a drivers/pnp/quirks.c where we could conceivably adjust
the PNP resource if we found the matching PCI device and MCHBAR.  That
should solve Stephane's problem even with the current
drivers/pnp/system.c.
