Subject: PCI devices (buses?) and 3GB of RAM lost with 4.2rc1

Hi all,

this is on a Thinkpad X200s, 5 years old and working fine, until 4.2rc1
came along.

With that booted, I do not have a WiFi card anymore, it doesn't even
appear in "lspci" output.

I only had a 4.0.5 lying around for comparison, so I'm attaching dmesg
from both kernels.
>From diffing the dmesg's, it also looks like I lost some of my RAM:

-Memory: 8050048K/8280176K available (6401K kernel code, 980K rwdata,
4864K rodata, 1532K init, 1516K bss, 230128K reserved, 0K cma-reserved)
+Memory: 5104620K/8280176K available (6823K kernel code, 1096K rwdata,
3220K rodata, 1556K init, 1520K bss, 227792K reserved, 0K cma-reserved)

Does anyone know what's going on here?

Thanks in advance,

	Stefan
