PNP: disable PNP motherboard resources that overlap PCI BARs
Some BIOSes have PNP motherboard devices with resources that partially overlap PCI BARs. The PNP system driver claims these motherboard resources, which prevents the normal PCI driver from requesting them later. This patch disables the PNP resources that conflict with PCI BARs so they won't be claimed by the PNP system driver. Of course, this only works if PCI devices have already been enumerated. Currently this is the case because PCI devices are discovered before any PNP init via this path: acpi_pci_root_init() -> acpi_pci_root_add() -> pci_acpi_scan_root() -> pci_scan_bus_parented() -> pci_scan_child_bus() -> ... Avuton Olrich tested this and confirmed that it fixes his ALSA sound card (see http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/27/168).
