Note that the port and IRQ values in the CIS tuples are purely 
advisory; they don't affect the operation of the card in any way.

The "driver allocation failed" message means that the 'ep' driver, 
given the mappings supplied, failed to locate your card.

This may mean that the port range you have specified is actually 
occupied by other hardware, or that your card is not behaving in a 
fashion that the 'ep' driver can handle.

You should add some debugging messages to the 'ep' driver's probe 
routines to determine the cause of the rejection.
