I would have expected such a scenario to get caught by this check:

	if ((res->flags & IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM) != IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM)
		return false;

Was this issue found by inspection, or is it causing an actual problem
in practice?

Also, it would be really nice to include the original authors when you
send Fixes: for patches.  BTW, scripts/get_maintainer.pl would have done
this for you.  I've added Tom and Brijesh.  Please cc them in the future.
