Ok, that's because the PCI core just prevent assigning that resource
but it does not request it (ie insert it in the resource tree) which
is what you do when claiming it.
I wonder how IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED works on eg x86, I think it is time
to have a proper look into resources allocation code because there
are bits and pieces that are quite obscure to me.
I think I would reverse the order in which you carry out the BAR
reservation anyway (first check if the device is enabled second request
the resource ie claim it).
