It seems that onboard ATI rage xl font mem can not be loaded correctly by
option rom in emulator.

After load the kernel (2.6.5) with atyfb enabled. The font mem can be
recovered even restart the MB.

I guess the ati rage xl could be judge sth to decide if it need to reload
the font mem.

Is 0xffff8000 written to register 0x30? That resource is dummy
so it should not be process by the resource allocator.

Anyway, probably we should give up (ab)using the allocator. I made 
another version to use dev->rom_address in pci_rom_probe().
