What do you think? In this way, we could just remove acpi_reserve_resources as pci already assigns resources to pci devices. The concern is motherboard might not list all acpi resources in its _CRS, but I don't know if there are such BIOS. Microsoft seems to reserve motherboard resources in the same way. Maybe we could just remove acpi_reserve_resources and give it a spin in -mm to see if anybody complains.
