pci->pcie bridge issue: kernel unable to find a free I/O port range.

[`VL <vl.homutov@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I'm having an issue with my M-Audio Delta 44 soundcard installed into
the PCI->PCIe adapter. When installed into PCI slot on my old computer,
it works perfectly, but the new one lacks PCI slots, so I installed it 
using
the adapter (http://www.espada-tech.ru/pr_-12351.shtml)

lspci shows the audio card:

07:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. ICE1712 
[Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller (rev 02)

but the driver won't load:

snd_ice1712 0000:07:00.0: Refused to change power state, currently in D3
ice1712: No matching model found for ID 0x6c6c6c6c
invalid EEPROM (size = 108)
snd_ice1712: probe of 0000:07:00.0 failed with error -5

Unknown ID and EEPROM size may differ from boot to boot.

Looking into message I see this:

[    0.384542] pci 0000:05:01.0: BAR 7: can't assign io (size 0x1000)
[    0.384714] pci 0000:06:00.0: BAR 7: can't assign io (size 0x1000)

[    0.385411] pci 0000:07:00.0: BAR 2: can't assign io (size 0x10)


The bridge is based on PLX PEX 8112(?) chip and lspci shows:

04:00.0 PCI bridge: PLX Technology, Inc. PEX 8608 8-lane, 8-Port PCI

06:00.0 PCI bridge: PLX Technology, Inc. PEX 8111 PCI Express-to-PCI 
Bridge (rev 21)

my kernel is 3.11.10:

lspci -vvv: http://dpaste.com/1539094/
dmesg: http://dpaste.com/1539095/

I've tried to boot with pci=realloc, but the system hangs in this case 
(looks like during initialization
of sound card driver, but I'm not sure, since it hangs completely: no 
kernel panic, system just stopped
in the middle of usual boot message)

Feel free to ask for more information.
