You appear to have a 5th BAR allocated at address 0 with a length of
0x400.

the old IDE code deals only with SFF interfaces in simple modes, and hand
does all the handling for BAR 0-3 because of old PCI layer flaws and
weaknesses.

Your platform code or BIOS is buggy. PPC people had a similar problem.
Zero is not currently taken as "unallocated" by the PCI layer and, while
Linus suggested it could be, Dave Woodhouse and others pointed out there
are systems which legitimately use address 0 on the PCI in this way.

Sounds like you need to fix up after your firmware in your boot code,
perhaps with an arch specific pci header quirk.
