Hi,

hw.pci.realloc_bars controls a mechanism that repositions a PCI memory resource if it can’t be successfully allocated at the default place.

It’s disabled by default - anyone know why?

Seems to me that because it only comes into play in an error case it would be harmless to have it enabled by default. That would have avoided a recent case where installation on the HPE Gen 10 microserver is tricky because its VGA suffers from this problem.

Thoughts?
