Yinghai/Bjorn,

	After carefully examination of the allocations done by the vanilla upstream
kernel; the one without the 'skip transparent bridge while sizing' code, 
I find that the allocation to one of the Bar; BAR[16], of the CardBus Bridge at 05:07.0
does not overlap that of the parent transparent bridge at 00:10.0

	Here is what I see in the video at  
	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dYhkWHfep0&feature=youtu.be

[268.002554] pci 0000:05:07.0: Cardbus bridge to  [bus 06-09]
[269.002582] pci 0000:05:07.0:  bridge window [io  0x1400-0x14ff]
[270.009090] pci 0000:05:07.0:  bridge window [io  0x1000-0x10ff]
[271.012358] pci 0000:05:07.0:  bridge window [mem  0x84000000-0x87ffffff pref]
[272.015626] pci 0000:05:07.0:  bridge window [mem  0x88000000-0x8bffffff]
		                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ offending allocation

[273.018894] pci 0000:00:10.0: PCI bridge to [bus  05-06]
[274.022162] pci 0000:00:10.0:  bridge window [io  0x1000-0x1fff]
[275.025430] pci 0000:00:10.0:  bridge window [mem  0xb3200000-0xb32fffff]
[276.028698] pci 0000:00:10.0:  bridge window [mem  0xb8400000-0x87ffffff pref]


To me, the issue seems to be that due to some reason the OS either fails to Or does not try to
reallocate the addresses assigned to the the non-pref mem BAR of the  the transparent bridge
at 00:10.0.

In any case since you have deeper knowledge in this area, I will let you verify my theory.
