Having thought about it, yes, that's what I expect, because root bus
resources are never resized.  Root bus resources are normally setup
before probing to indicate what size they _can_ be and define what
space is available to the downstream devices.

Child busses (behind a PCI-2-PCI bridge) are a different matter - these
will be adjusted according to their on-bus devices and the windows for
them sized and allocated appropriately _within_ the confines of the
root bus resource.

Right, so you've just confirmed that this _is_ the right hook and it
_is_ being called at the right time.

However, I had interpreted your requirement as the _host_ bridge only
(insufficient information in your previous emails, or I missed it).

If that's what your bridge requires, then we need to detect it via
its vendor and device IDs and only apply this fixup to those bridges
which require a 64K alignment.

So, the IDs are vendor:device = 0x11ab:0x1092 ?  And let me get this
straight, it _is_ a specific requirement for this particular bridge
P2P bridge?
