I've found no indication in the PCI specs that 0 would be a magic value here. It also matches what the firmware has assigned to the device according to the OFW device tree. If the 0 here actually indicates a disabled BAR than this isn't exactly obvious to me as there would be better means in OFW to disable a device... Marius
