I just tested on my own workstation, and 8 wasn't enough for me either:
there are 12 resources listed for the PNP0C02 device on my workstation.
After applying your patch, I get the following differences in /proc/ioports:
--- ioports.before 2007-07-16 18:29:30.000000000 +0200

I like this patch and I'd like to see it upstream soon. I think it can
even be improved:
* If we run out of pnp ports, we should print an error message rather
than a debug message. If it takes CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG=y to get reports
that the max is too low, we won't have many reports.
* Can we have similar messages for PNP_MAX_MEM, PNP_MAX_IRQ and
PNP_MAX_DMA? I think that we really want to know when we hit limits for
these too.
Thanks,
