O.k. I'm getting more interested as I read this. So we have things like superio chips and the like with configureable resources, (and possibly some pci<->isa bridge resources that need to bec onfigured.)
Coming from the linuxBIOS side I'm interested as that will allow me to rip out more code, from linuxBIOS. And I think it is only sane to report such devices.
I don't know about the stock BIOS interfaces to those devices though. I'll keep an eye on them and see what I can do. Hopefully within the next couple of mounths I can start attacking this problem.
