As a first hack at it, you could try to (ab)use the
IORESOURCE_PREFETCH bit.  I know it means exactly the opposite of
non-posted, but it would force the resources to be allocated
together...

You could add a new bit IORESOURCE_NON_POSTED in src/include/device/resource.h

Then you would need to add a little more logic to the split in
src/device/device.c, so instead of just splitting resources based on
the PREFETCH bit, it added the NON_POSTED bit too.

Thanks,
