That looks a bit unlikely. The whole acpiphp_init/get/put_context()
logic is entirely internal to drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp_glue.c, and
that merge gets absolutely all the changes from one side, except for a
one-liner change to that file that looks entirely unrelated (commit
928bea964827 "PCI: Delay enabling bridges until they're needed").
That said, that one commit did cause other problems (see commit
f41f064cf435: "PCI: Workaround missing pci_set_master in pci
drivers"), so who knows. Some subtle interaction with exactly when the
hotplug functions end up being called?
But it could possibly be timing-related too. Does everything behind
that hp bridge still work?
