PCI based SNI RM machines have their EISA bus behind an Intel PCI/EISA

break the PCI bus, because i8259.c already has registered it's IO
addresses before the PCI bus gets initialized. Below is a patch,
which will register the PCI host bridge resources inside
register_pci_controller(). It also changes i8259.c to use insert_region(),
because request_resource() will fail, if the IO space of the PIT hanging
of the PCI host bridge (maybe passing the resource parent to
init_i8259_irqs() is a cleaner fix for that).
First, I don't understand how PIT and PIC resources may intersect. Then,
oops, I meant PIC resources.
IIUC, using inert_resource() will cause PIT resource be the child of the
PIC resource which doesn't make sense either.
the insert_resource will make it child of the PCI resource, which makes
perfect sense, because the ISA bus is behind the PCI host bridge.
If you read the comment to insert_resource() you'll see that it works
contrarywise, i. e. the inserted resource is made parent of the conflicting
ones. I.e. it should't work as you're intending it to.
