ACPI ADDRESSn resources can describe both memory and port io, but the
current code assumes they're descibing memory, which isn't true for HP's
ia64 systems.


There already a patch for that in -mm kernel


Yes, the original author just contacted me to tell me.  It seems to me
that we have a process problem when a bug gets fixed on March 28th,
but not propagated upstream by June 10th.  That's almost 11 weeks,
and I'm sure it'll be more by the time it's finally merged.  I thought
the days of ACPI process problems were behind us ;-(

The problem is that this patch (and your patch) introduce a regression for some boxes.

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6292 for more info.

I submited today a fix for this regression.
