Yes, but in OS X I didn't even have to do that.  All I had to do was ask it to 
map a BAR if I wanted to use it.  It already "allocated" all the resources 
regardless.  Windows was the same way (though a bit weirder, you get a 
message that lists all your resources and you have to map them if you want to 
use them).
