With v2.6.24 my second ALSA sound device stopped working.

After bisection it says this was the offending commit.

    PNP: increase the maximum number of resources

    On some systems the number of resources(IO,MEM) returnedy by PNP device is
    greater than the PNP constant, for example motherboard devices.  It brings
    that some resources can't be reserved and resource confilicts.  This will
    cause PCI resources are assigned wrongly in some systems, and cause hang.
    This is a regression since we deleted ACPI motherboard driver and use PNP
    system driver.

The audio device is 00:1b.0 (see my lspci -vvv output), the other
audio device works fine.

Here's why the driver fails to load:

[ 31.133060] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 22 [ 31.133141] PCI: Unable to reserve mem region #1:[EMAIL PROTECTED] for device 0000:00:1b.0
[   31.133197] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1b.0 disabled
[   31.133244] HDA Intel: probe of 0000:00:1b.0 failed with error -16

The iomem location of the HDA controller conflicts with this reservation by the BIOS:

[ 22.906654] system 00:08: iomem range 0xfebfa000-0xfebfac00 has been reserved

There was a patch floating around to ignore PnPACPI reservations which conflict with PCI BARs, which appears to be what's happening in this case. That patch originally worked for any board, but was later made specific to a certain Supermicro motherboard which had the sata_nv controller MMIO regions marked as reserved, preventing the driver from loading. We may need a more general solution. See:
