Hi Bjorn and Boszormenyi,
	From the 3.18 kernel, we got a message:
[    0.126248] acpi PNP0A08:00: host bridge window
[0x400000000-0xfffffffff] (ignored, not CPU addressable)
	And from 4.1.-rc8, we got another message:
[    0.127051] acpi PNP0A08:00: host bridge window expanded to [mem
0x00000000-0xffffffff window]; [mem 0x00000000-0xffffffff window] ignored

That smells like a 32bit overflow or 64bit cut-off issue.

Hi Boszormenyi, could you please help to provide acpidump from the
machine?
Thanks!
Gerry
