Revert "PCI: remove transparent bridge sizing"
This reverts commit 8fa5913d , which caused various interesting problems for people, including wrong resource allocations. See for example bugzilla entry "2.6.25-rc2: ohci1394 problem (MMIO broken)" at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10080 And Gary Hade says: "The same change had also exposed an issue reported by Paul Martin that has been causing an Oops while hotplugging ThinkPads to a ThinkPad Dock II. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/19/405 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9961 I have a fix for the ThinkPad docking Oops but if the issue being discussed here is caused by the transparent bridge sizing removal change I totally agree that it should be reverted." The transparent bridge sizing removal change was motivated by insufficient PCI memory resource for a transparent bridge window that was being created as a result of expansion ROM(s) being included in the transparent bridge sizing calculations. A later "PCI: Remove default PCI expansion ROM memory allocation" change ( re: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/11/361 ) removes the expansion ROM(s) from the transparent bridge sizing calculations which actually resolves the original issue in a different manner. So, even if the "PCI: remove transparent bridge sizing" is not problematic it is no longer needed anyway."
