That commit doesn't *try* to do something. It *does* something. Just
explain what it does and what's wrong with what it does.

Apparently the problem is with the Memory32Fixed resources above; it sounds
like we ignore them after 63f1789ec716? I don't quite understand how this
fix works. acpi_dev_filter_resource_type() has cases for both
ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_FIXED_MEMORY32 and ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_ADDRESSxx, but
this patch only touches the latter, not the
ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_FIXED_MEMORY32 case.

Is it even legal to use Memory32Fixed for a bridge window? Is this just a
BIOS bug? If so, how do we know this workaround won't break something
else for BIOSes that use Memory32Fixed correctly?

Should this be a BIOS-specific quirk?

Incidentally, I also noticed this change:

--- dmesg_3.18.0-rc5.txt 2015-03-23 10:49:25.064682404 -0500
+++ dmesg_4.0.0-rc4.txt 2015-03-23 10:49:29.276630002 -0500
-ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [INTA] (IRQs 3 4 5 7 10 11 12 15) *0, disabled.
+ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [INTA] (IRQs 3 4 5 7 10 11 12 15) *0

Is it intentional that INTA was previously reported as disabled but isn't
any more?

And there's also this:

acpi PNP0A03:00: [Firmware Bug]: no secondary bus range in _CRS

That isn't a change (it was there in 3.18, too), but that really is a
pretty basic BIOS bug and indicates that we shouldn't be too surprised if
it has other bugs.

It'd be nice to have Bernhard's logs archived somewhere and referenced
here. This seems like a dusty corner of the code that might have to be
revisited someday.

Tangent: I'm disappointed that ia64 didn't get reworked to track the x86
code here. Is that coming soon?
