Don't know. The PCI IDE spec. said that those should be 0 in compatibility
mode but I know that some controllers require the standard values of 0x1[f7]0
to be in BAR0/2 in compatibility mode. If my memory serves, NatSemi PC8741x
were ones of those...

Certainly not. We can only rely on the workaround putting 0x1[f7]0 in the
resources 0/2.

Yes, I think that should be enough...
