I'm sorry, I don't necessarily have time to sort through all the
emails.  My idea is that the changelog should be a self-contained
justification for the patch.  The bugzilla is for supporting details
and future archaeologists.

I beg your pardon?  I don't think it's fair to malign Yinghai.  He's
tested at least two machines and at least two patches, and it's only
been two working days since he reported the problem.  He deserves
great thanks for finding this issue early.

If you think a bugzilla is onerous or a revert of a patch that breaks
something is inappropriate, we might have to just disagree.

I'll come back to this later.  I'm still hoping that somebody will do
some experiments with pciehp out of the picture, using setpci to walk
through this manually.  At this point I'm more inclined to suspect a
pciehp issue than a hardware erratum.  If we could reproduce a problem
without pciehp in the picture, that would be much more convincing.
