I copied that code from ia32, with some minor modifications to make it work
with the Open Firmware on my LongTrail.

Yep. If you set up the bus resources correctly, that code will assign all
unassigned resources automatically (and reassign conflicting resources) from
the ranges specified by the bus resources.

BTW, before I did this on PPC, I played with PCI resource assignment on a MIPS
board, where the firmware didn't do any PCI assignments (except for Ethernet,
to boot images using TFTP), which is exactly what you want. For reference, that
code is in arch/mips/ddb5074/pci.c.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
