Pong! Unfortunately, I haven't heard any news about this pci bridge issue
from "David H. Lynch Jr.". But as you say: "Time for patching 2.6.34-rcX
regressions is running out". Therefore, David: please hurry up and post
what you are seeing. Most of oopses, can be easily captured with a serial
console (a setup is described in Documentation/serial-console.txt )
