Actually the thunderbolt part is already working (for non chaining
devices, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/28/492 if you are
interested). I can completely bootstrap the tb side of things. The
only problem is that if power has been cut by the firmware (during
boot without osi_acpi=Darwin or after a suspend/resume cycle) then
Linux does not allocate enough PCI resources...

Cheers,
Andreas
