One of the changes is that for ACPI devices we always reserve the
resources they claim even if the driver only asks for a subset
(previously we only claimed what the driver explicitly asked for).
This is important for making sure we don't hand a resource out to
another device that is actually in use by an ACPI device (just not
by the current driver).
