One of the changes is that for ACPI devices we always reserve the resources they claim even if the driver only asks for a subset (previously we only claimed what the driver explicitly asked for). This is important for making sure we don't hand a resource out to another device that is actually in use by an ACPI device (just not by the current driver). -- John Baldwin
