That BAR is indeed "locked". Now that we try to reallocate it, you get 
this in the log:

	pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 3: error updating (0x40000004 != 0xe0000004)
	pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 3: error updating (high 0x000001 != 0x000000)

ie now the code _tried_ to update the BAR to point to 0x1_4000_0000 
instead, but the hardware refused, and it is still at 0x0_e000_0000.

So Yinghai's patch "worked", but it worked by doing nothing.

See my earlier guess about locked read-only resources a few emails back. 
IOW, I'm not at all surprised. I really do suspect that that BAR is some 
very special "this is the HT->PCIE region" BAR.
