Do you have a link to the thread about these issues? I'd like to have a
look at what has been tried to solve the regressions before the revert.

I had a look at commit 991de2e59090 and noted that the main difference
it introduces is that the pcibios-irq is allocated earlier (probe time,
before the commit it was pci_enable_device() time). In fact, it is now
allocated before pci_enable_resources() has been called on the device
(as far as I can see). I wonder if the regression can be fixed by
also moving pci_enable_resources() to probe time.
