Jesse,

	I have fixed the problem and have a better patch. See if it is acceptable for you.

	Yes I have seen that forwarded mail. I will look through it.


Here is the patch.


commit 213e491e64a6c77f2e52abcb563a592964dd1074
Author: Ram Pai <linuxram@...ibm.com>

    PCI: conditional resource-reallocation through kernel parameter pci=realloc
    
    Multiple attempts to dynamically reallocate pci resources have unfortunately
    lead to regressions. Though we continue to fix the regressions and fine tune the
    dynamic-reallocation behavior, we have not reached a acceptable state yet.
    
    This patch provides a interim solution. It disables dynamic-reallocation; by
    default, with the ability to enable it through pci=realloc kernel command line
    parameter.
