Hehehe, actually I'll probably be unable to cook a patch in the next few days
but the good news is that the problem is clear and I should be able to fix it
once my spare time allows it.

"Set Resource Settings", we need to tell the bios which configuration we're
using. It looks like very old Vaios did it with a different input structure
than newer ones:
C1VE (Type 1):
Name (SSRC, ResourceTemplate ()
{
IO (Decode16, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x01, 0x01, )
IO (Decode16, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x01, 0x01, )
IRQNoFlags () {}
})
SZ72 (Type 3):
Name (SSRC, ResourceTemplate ()
{
IO (Decode16, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x01, 0x20, )
IRQNoFlags () {}
})
We just need to make a special case for Type 1 Vaios, should be easy enough.
