It may still be useful. For example some BIOSes fill MMIO resources
based on variables in memory in which case the resource in DSDT is
filled with zeroes when disassembled. With the number you can find out
the right MMIO resource.

Either way, this is a good change. I had it on my list as well but never
got a chance to write a patch.
