The only resources you're changing in this patch are the software resource
lists that Linux maintains, presumably for diagnostics and to detect
resource conflicts. No actual PCI BARs seem to change, or anything like
that. So I don't see how this would fix anything. Actually I'm not even
entirely clear what the problem is.
