I don't understand why you put the SYSTEM and Video ROM at addresses
relative to absolute zero.  The result of this is that it might
overlap real physical memory.

If a VGA card is present, it's ROM will respond to those addresses
relative to the PCI controller's MEM space area.

Their legacy resources are "hardwired", but those hardwired addresses
need to be relative to the PCI host controller's MEM areas in order
for them to be accessible.

I could understand removing the System ROM resource altogether, that
makes a lot of sense to me.

Thanks.
