While from the host bridges perspective you are right,
from the OS point of view we have a problem, at least for APCI based ones.
They want disjoint IO/mem ranges for each primary root bus.
(See: http://www.acpi.info/acpi_faq.htm)

I have a POC on a private branch with a working version and especially Windows
needs the disjoint regions.

However, we can do the above and broke the _CRS into little pieces, one for each device.
This will work, but maybe is not elegant and we may end with a lot of problems on QEMU side.
What do you think?


Thanks for the review!
