I'm going to fix all the abuses of the 'count' parameter to the bus_alloc_resource() call. 'count' isn't the size of the allocation. The resource must specify a start and a length and not rely on 'count' to fake up an allocation that works. As far as I can tell, most of the abusers are ones that can use PNPBIOS or ISA hints. This will fix stuff like this: unknown: <PNP0600> can't assign resources (port) It will require that hints specify a 'portsize' or 'msize' variable for each 'port' or 'maddr' that has a size > than 1. I'll post my patches for MAINTAINER review but this needs to get fixed before we roll out a release that uses the hints mechanism so we don't get locked into supporting the broken usage. -- | Matthew N.
