Well, according to Matt Porter, 0 is a valid address in PCI 2.2. So how do you
disable BARs for PCI 2.2-compliant devices?

And I'm afraid what XFree86 4.x will do with BARs set to 0. Probably it will
try to relocate them. I guess that's how it crashes on my box with an
unitialized S3...

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
