    In commit 6e8af08dfa40b747002207d3ce8e8b43a050d99f ("PCI: enable pci=bfsort
    by default on future Dell systems"), the callback added was placed at the
    top of the list, before the specific PowerEdge models.  This ends up
    breaking the more specific models listed, since the new callback handles
    all Dell systems but the older systems don't have the new 0xB1 smbios
    entry.
    
    Fix this by placing the new check _after_ the more specific PowerEdge
    sytems.

Hi, this issue is fixed and the fix is in Jesse's linux-next tree.

It would be great to get that in -stable.

This patch is still not included in 3.0.0-rc6, nor in any stable series.
Some reason for this?  And did Dell do any testing at all on existing
hardware before submitting 6e8af08dfa4?  Seems even a minor amount of
testing should have shown this regression.

Given 3.0.0 is expected soon, perhaps this can be included?  Jesse?

Hi, I think for the patch to be included into stable, it needs to be in the mainline.
Hi Jesse, please consider queuing this patch  for mainline.

Ouch, I was sure I had this queued a long time ago but somehow it got
dropped.  Anyway it's queued now and will appear in 3.1.
