Doc Text:
Previously, system board iomem resources, which were enumerated using the PNP Motherboard resource descriptions, were not recognized and taken into consideration when gathering resource information. This could have caused MMIO-based requests to receive allocations that were not valid. With this update, system board iomem resources are correctly recognized when gathering resource information.
