The BIOS simply may have not set a range for the BAR and left it at 0.  In 
that case, the BAR can probably be enabled by just programming it to a valid 
range.  You can try doing that via

	rid = PCIR_BAR(x);
	/* Or SYS_RES_IOPORT */
	res = bus_alloc_resource_any(dev, SYS_RES_MEMORY, &rid);

This will allocate fresh resources for the BAR if possible.  However, if the 
BAR is "special" and only works with a certain hard-coded address, then you 
can try specifying the start/end/count using bus_alloc_resource() rather than 
bus_alloc_resource_any().
