Hi,

hw.pci.realloc_bars controls a mechanism that repositions a PCI memory =
resource if it can=E2=80=99t be successfully allocated at the default =
place.

It=E2=80=99s 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?
