SubjectRe: [Bug 41622] [REGRESSION][BISECTED] Notebook crashes upon detecting the PCI subsystem with kernels >= 2.6.24-rc7

I'd still like to see a dmesg log with no arguments (remove the
"acpi=off pnpbios=off noapic nolapic" arguments). Your machine is new
enough that we'll use PCI _CRS by default, and I'd like to make sure
we're doing the right thing.

I assume that with no arguments, you still need the "skip transparent
bridge sizing" change to boot.

I don't really like that change because in __pci_bus_size_bridges(),
it's not obvious why sizing transparent bridges should be a problem.
If growing transparent bridge windows makes us run out of space, let's
put the smarts ("this bridge is transparent, we can take advantage of
subtractive decode so we may not need to grow the positive decode
windows") at the point where we grow, not at the point where we size.
If we do have enough space, growing the positive decode windows is
better because they're faster than subtractive decode.
