The patch is totally unrisky, beside of an overseen typo that always can
slip in (if this should be a concern)...
About the mechanism and the fact that there is another instance to check
IO port and system memory resources?
IIRC Bjorn did not like that, but also wanted to integrated that into
pnp layer somehow. But I expect after fighting already that hard with
mainboard/system pnp resource conflicts and BIOS weirdness the last
weeks..., he also agrees that it makes not much sense that the
OperationRegion port/memory checks should get integrated into the pnp
layer now or at all (which could conflict as a third instance (driver
resources vs pnp resources vs ACPI OperationRegion declarations)
depending on how broken the BIOS is, even with overlapping!)
