Good work!

Fine.

	res->base = VT8237R_APIC_BASE;
 	res->size = 256;
-	res->limit = 0xffffffffUL;
+	res->limit = res->base + res->size - 1;
+	res->align = 8;
+	res->gran = 8;
 	res->flags = IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_FIXED |
 		     IORESOURCE_STORED | IORESOURCE_ASSIGNED;

The limit should be 0xffffffff for mem resources unless they are 64 bit.

-
-	res = new_resource(dev, 1);
-	res->base = 0x0UL;
-	res->size = 0x1000UL;
-	res->limit = 0xffffUL;
-	res->flags = IORESOURCE_IO | IORESOURCE_ASSIGNED | IORESOURCE_FIXED;
 }

Why did you want to remove this reserved region?  It just makes it so that
allocations have to be above 0x1000.  It doesn't affect other fixed regions.

Why is the compiled dsdt in the tree?  It looks like the source is there
too.

I'd appreciate it if you'd remove any white space at the end of lines.  You
should be able to use find/replace in the patches.

Search for + at the beginning of the line with whitespace at the end. 
in vi: /^+.*[\t ][\t ]*$
