Yes, it does leak, and yes, it should be kmalloced. Something like this?

       struct resource *new_vga;

       new_vga = kmalloc(sizeof(struct resource), GFP_ATOMIC);
       if (new_vga) {
           *new_vga = alpha_vga;
           new_vga->start += pci_vga_hose->io_space->start;
           new_vga->end   += pci_vga_hose->io_space->start;
           request_resource(&ioport_resource, new_vga);
       }

Thanks, Richard, I'll regenerate this one...
