pci transparent bridge resource management

pci transparent bridge resource management

[Dominik Brodowski]

Hi!

Could we get the following two patches into Linus' tree as well? AFAIK,
these alone didn't do any harm; they're most useful for yenta-style
PCMCIA-PCI bridges instead... so I'd very much like to get them into 2.6.13.

http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.12/2.6.12-mm2/broken-out/gregkh-pci-pci-collect-host-bridge-resources-01.patch
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.12/2.6.12-mm2/broken-out/gregkh-pci-pci-handle-subtractive-decode.patch


Thanks,
	Dominik

No, not right now.  Ivan's reworking these patches, due to the number of
complaints in this area.  Give us a week or so...

The collect-resources-02 was the cause. Not the other ones, AFAIK, and they
are even independent... But as you're confident that they'll eventually make
it into .13, I'm silent again...

Not according to:
	http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4737

One person said the -01 patch messed up their box...
