SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] x86/PCI: Ignore E820 reservations for bridge windows on newer systems
Hi Hans,

Thank you for sending the patch over!

[...]

A very small nitpick: we usually remove time/date stamps from kernel ring
buffer outputs keeping only the relevant message parts left.

A tiny typo of "originally" in the sentence above.

I know that Mika already asked about this, and you responded, so I can only
added: brackets, let's add brackets, most definitely. :)

A small nitpick: not sure if this comment is needed as probably most people
working with this code would use "git grep" and likes to list occurrences
where the variables is used. But, this is highly subjective, thus there is
probably nothing to change here.

I know you followed the existing style, which is very much appreciated, but
if and where possible, we should move to newer API/style and replace the
printk() above with pr_info(). New code should not be adding old style if
it can be helped (checkpatch.pl would warn about this too). What do yo you
think?

Krzysztof
