I'm wondering why the size of the APIC region here is 256. That's smaller than any reference from the resource map link you sent.
The K8M890 APIC decodes only 256 bytes. Some APICs can decode more.
Which device should logically own the ACPI resources? We can just allocate them there. I vote for the domain or the mainboard (root device) to own them.
Here is something how the other resources from host bus and PCI bus are handled:

How do I report a CPU-to-PCI bridge (root PCI Bus) in the ACPI NameSpace?
And also some more about the ACPI representation in: http://www.google.cz/search?hl=cs&q=%22PCI+Firmware+Specification%22+fil... http://www.pcisig.com/specifications/conventional/pci_firmware/PCI_FW_Slot_P...
I'm in too deep here. I'm hoping that we can figure out resource allocation a little better before we move on to ACPI tables.
Yes ;)
