Thanks a lot for testing this! I'll fix up this typo and work on
getting something like this merged.

Oh, that's good data, thanks! It looks like Windows noticed that the
BAR was invalid and assigned a valid resource to it. That's in the
third aperture below:

ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (domain 0000 [bus 00-01])
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0x000a0000-0x000fffff]
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xfa000000-0xfbffffff]
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xff000000-0xffffffff]
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xfec00000-0xfec0ffff]

Linux *should* probably do the same (though at a different actual
address because we assign bottom-up instead of top-down as Windows
does). I don't know off the top of my head whether we actually do in
this case or not.

What's the output of "dmesg | grep 0000:00:1f.1; lspci -vs00:1f.1"?
