Thanks for that.

[SNIP]
I *think* this will be broken by the current implementation of
Christian's patch to enable a 64-bit host bridge window:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1493890270-1188-5-git-send-email-deathsimple@xxxxxxxxxxx

because pci_register_host_bridge() runs before we scan the bus, and
Christian's patch adds a quirk that runs when we enumerate the AMD
host bridge device.

If we apply this and Christian's patch, I think we could end up with
a host bridge window above 4G, but with bridge->has_mem64 not set.
Yes, indeed. I can adjust my patch, but I would prefer not to do so.

I don't completely understand the background of this change, but from what I know how the BIOS (at least on X86) allocates resources it doesn't sounds correct to me.

Maybe we just need a Sparc specific quirk here instead of changing the common logic?

Regards,
Christian.
