As far as I can see, this scans the bus a specific
device is on, looking for devices who have conflicting
BARs. Returns 1 if found, 0 if not.

Not sure what would devices do with this information, really:
patches posted just print out a warning which does not seem
too useful.


Just FYI, if you decided to e.g. disable device in
such a case that would be wrong: it is legal to have overlapping BARs as
long as there are no accesses.
So a legal thing for a guest to do is:

Assign BAR1 = abcde
Assign BAR2 = abcde <- overlaps temporarily
Assign BAR1 = 12345

And this means that you can't just check your device
has no conflicts when your device is touched:
it needs to be checked each time mappings are updated.

This lacks comments documentng what this does, parameters, return
values, etc.

Weird use of upper case. Intentional?
Also - what does this comment mean?

itself?

This ignores bridges.

Do you mean
	type & PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_SPACE_IO != r->type &
PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_SPACE_IO
?

This would not need a comment then.

Can ranges_overlap be used?

That's not how one should report errors.
