Actually, my suggestion was the other way around (we should move certain ACPI 
devices down behind isab so they are behind the Host-PCI bridge as they are in 
hardware).  In this case the BIOS clearly does not list the reosurces for the 
GCS as valid resources for the Host-PCI bridge.  This is part of the reason 
that I added the 'debug.acpi.disable="hostres"'.  One thing we may be able to 
do is allow non-wildcard requests that are outside the range to still pass if 
they are in ACPI's system resource range perhaps.
