I think this is the configuration I have but will double check. Thanks for
the explanation. It is so much easier to work on something when you do not
think you are just putting things in variables without any idea why.

There are 2 BAR's for the host controller that appear but they do not get
assigned resources since they fall outside of the defined resources ranges.
So, this should matter right? (see PCI/SCSI help message for output)
