I see.
What about the timing?

Well, this is the bridge sizing I talked about previously. We still get
apparently spurious bus check/device check events and they trigger bridge
scans.
I'm not sure what to do about that and I wonder whether or not this is
reproducible on any other machines you can test.
Can you please change dbg() to pr_info() under ACPI_NOTIFY_BUS_CHECK and
ACPI_NOTIFY_DEVICE_CHECK in hotplug_event() (acpiphp_glue.c), grep the boot
dmesg log for "check notify" and send the result? I'm wondering what's
going on there.
Thanks,
Rafael
