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).
