Checking pci_resource_start() for zero would certainly work
in your particular case.  But I don't know enough about PCI to
know whether that's always safe.

Matthew Wilcox suggested that the BARs may be zero because the BIOS
has "disabled" those two devices.  Are there any BIOS setup options
related to them?  I know you need to use at least the sound device,
so I'm not suggesting that Linux should leave it disabled;  I'm just
trying to learn more about the situation.

If I were trying to figure out where we assign resources, I'd probably
boot with "pci=earlydump" and sprinkle calls to early_dump_pci_device()
in pcibios_resource_survey(), and drill down from there.
