So the PCI bus init code couldn't add the bus resource to the resource tree
(i.e. that region was already occupied).

Can you post the contents of /proc/iomem and /proc/ioports as well?
And lspci -vv?
I guess the Prometheus bus resources show up in /proc/ioports but not in
/proc/iomem?

That's the PCI memory space of the Prometheus?
(http://prometheus.amiga.pl/developer.html is refusing connections right now,
so I can't verify).
The error message is printed in pcibios_allocate_bus_resources()
(arch/ppc/kernel/pci.c). That routine tries to find the parent resources for
the resources of your PCI host bridge.
Did you fill in bus->parent?
- If no (I guess so), the code will use &iomem_resource as the parent
resource. Then request_resource() will fail because the Zorro part of the
Prometheus already has requested that region (you should see the Zorro part
in /proc/iomem).
- If yes (very unlikely), pci_find_parent_resource() did not find a correct
resource to use as a parent for the region 40100000..5fffffff.
So you should tell the bus setup code that your bus parent is the Prometheus
Zorro device. Unfortunately that's not as simple as it sounds, since
bus->parent is of type struct pci_bus *, which is not compatible with the Zorro
bus ;-(
The problem is that the PCI code assumes that PCI busses always hang off of
nothing (i.e. the CPU) or other PCI busses, while in the Prometheus' case we
don't have a PCI host bridge (bus->parent is NULL) or a PCI-PCI bridge
(bus->parent is non-NULL), but a Zorro-PCI bridge. (Once we'll have had the
generic device driver framework rewrite, I guess that'll be fixed)
I think the best solution is to copy the pcibios_allocate_bus_resources() code
to your Prometheus driver and modify it to always use &ioport_resource as the
parent resource for PCI I/O resources, and zorro_dev.resource of the Prometheus
Zorro device for PCI memory resources.
It might still break other code that assumes bus->parent contains something
valid, though. But since it works for normal PCI host bridges where bus->parent
is NULL as well, I think everything will be fine.
Question: Are there any other machines where the PCI subsystem doesn't hang off
of the CPU, but of some other sufficiently intelligent bus (so VESA Local Bus
doesn't count)?

So your PCI devices are found and hooked up in the resource tree.

And the Voodoo3 is working! Very nice!
