What connection do you envision between nonrelocatable ranges and
IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED?  I don't know what a nonrelocatable range is,
but for IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED, all I intend is that the PCI core should
not try to assign a different address, e.g., because the BAR is
read-only or because it's a legacy IDE/VGA/etc. range for which there
is no BAR at all.
