I assume you have a Root Port or Switch Port that supports subtractive
decode?  I'm trying to understand how such a device would work.

Out of curiosity, can you show the "lspci -vv" output for the device
and the downstream devices of interest?

Do you happen to know whether this functionality is configurable,
e.g., is there some way software can enable or disable subtractive
decode?  I assume this would be some device-specific thing, because I
can't find anything in the Bridge Control register or similar.  The
PCIe spec doesn't even contain the word "subtractive".

The "PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X Bridge Specification", r1.0, says a PCI
Express bridge (which would include Root Ports and Switch Ports) has a
Class Code of 0x060400 (Non-Subtractive PCI-PCI Bridge) (sec 1.1).

Sec 1.3.4 says subtractive decode on the primary interface is "not
applicable or outside the scope of this spec".
