Hey, cool.
I'd still ask you to do some more testing for me, if that's ok?
Can you boot with the broken kernel and with the DEBUG thing defined in
arch/i386/kernel/pci-i386.h? I'd love to see what it says.
Also, if it refuses to work with a IO limit > 256, maybe it will work with
_two_ IO limits that are <= 256 instead. The problem there, of course, is
that pci_claim_resource() isn't smart enough to be able to search the
second one after it fails with the first one.
Martin, any ideas? I have this suspicion that pci_claim_resource() should
be rewritten to fall back on other resources if it cannot find space in a
good one (pci_find_parent_resource() already falls back on a
non-prefetchable memory region if it cannot find a prefetchable one, but
that kind of fallback should probably happen for other failure modes too,
like PCI mapping windows that are already full..
Yenta could easily do an additional
yenta_allocate_res(socket, 3, IORESOURCE_IO);
and it would work if just the PCI layer understood to do that allocation..
