I'm honestly not sure how to try what you suggested to try, since I'm
nothing even remotely close to a kernel geek and it was over my head.
However, I'd gladly test anything that you think would be worth
testing, if you would please put it in way that I could understand,
such as "change line 'foo' in probe.c into 'foolio'"

Thanks again for all of your help,
Marcos

Given that all of the reports are in cases when the adjustment is *not*
being done (and only a message is being printed), I can only assume that
the breakage results from the adding of PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_SPACE_IO
into the resource flags. I considered this unconditional setting of the flags
odd already in the original code, and added this extra flag only for
consistency reasons (because the settings reported by X indicated that
this was missing). Perhaps the adjustment (original and the added
extra flag) shouldn't be done if IORESOURCE_IO wasn't already set.
Perhaps one of those seeing the issue could try out returning from the
function right after that printk(), without any adjustment to the flags.
