Two more points to discuss here. IA64, in its prepare_resources() callback
calls acpi_pci_probe_root_resources() in turn. That function parses the
_CRS and validate the resources (acpi_pci_root_validate_resources()).

That does not make sense IMO, because IA64 changes the IO port resources
after calling acpi_pci_probe_root_resources(), hence the validation
carried out in acpi_pci_probe_root_resources(), at least for IO ports
seems wrong (what's the point of validating the CRS against
ioport_resource if we change the _CRS IO space resources afterwards ?).

Second point: we are aware that by removing the offset addition in
acpi_decode_space(), if for any reason on x86 or IA64 a resource has
that offset !=0 (speaking in terms of memory resources for instance)
we are in trouble. Jiang mentioned that on x86 and IA64 offset is always
0x0 for memory resources, but just want to make sure we are all aware
of this potential pitfall.

Comments appreciated, it is time to a) fix IA64 and b) get this _CRS
parsing consolidation done.

Thanks,
