Eh?  device_probe_and_attach()'s loop to probe drivers is not PCI-specific, it
has no idea if a given device is PCI device or not let alone if it has non-zero
subvendor IDs.  Also, ata_pci_probe() doesn't look at the subvendor IDs at all.

The panic in question is due to a resource that was reserved by the parent
bus (i.e. either ACPI or PCI) using resource_list_reserve(), then a driver
called resource_list_alloc() on it once successfully, and
resource_list_alloc() is being called a second time to allocate an already-
allocated resource.  That won't happen due to junk in a BAR (and BARs are
all standard config header registers anyway).
