I'm aware of the former, my understanding of the pci(4) code
is that it won't pre-allocate such a resource but modulo bugs
treats it normally when a driver allocates it though. I've
found no indication in the PCI specs that 0 would be a magic
value here. It also matches what the firmware has assigned
to the device according to the OFW device tree. If the 0
here actually indicates a disabled BAR than this isn't
exactly obvious to me as there would be better means in
OFW to disable a device...
