Hi Thomas,

I guess I understand now....

 >>> pci 0000:00:01.0: BAR 8: can't assign mem (size 0xc000000)

this is the BAR for the bridge, your virtual PCI host device, whose size 
is calculated dynamically depending on what is found on the underlying 
hardware.
So compared to the legacy driver which was relying on the real hardware 
BARs (where I could get /some/ BARs to work, namely the biggest one 
which was taking up the whole 128M), here it's an all-or-nothing approach.
As a matter of fact, everything works fine if I explicitly disable the 
biggest BAR with a trick:

mvebu-pcie pcie-controller.1: PCIe0.0: link up
mvebu-pcie pcie-controller.1: PCI host bridge to bus 0000:00
pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [io  0x1000-0xfffff]
pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0xe0000000-0xe7ffffff]
pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [bus 00-ff]
pci 0000:00:01.0: [11ab:7846] type 01 class 0x060400
PCI: bus0: Fast back to back transfers disabled
pci 0000:00:01.0: bridge configuration invalid ([bus 00-00]), reconfiguring
pci 0000:01:00.0: [10ee:0008] type 00 class 0x050000
pci 0000:01:00.0: reg 10: [mem 0x00000000-0x00000fff]
pci 0000:01:00.0: reg 14: [mem 0x00000000-0x07ffffff]
pci 0000:01:00.0: reg 18: [mem 0x00000000-0x00000fff]
pci 0000:01:00.0: reg 1c: [mem 0x00000000-0x007fffff]
pci 0000:01:00.0: reg 20: [mem 0x00000000-0x00001fff]
pci 0000:01:00.0: reg 24: [mem 0x00000000-0x00000fff]
pci 0000:01:00.0: supports D1 D2
pci 0000:01:00.0: PME# supported from D0 D1 D2 D3hot
PCI: bus1: Fast back to back transfers disabled
pci_bus 0000:01: busn_res: [bus 01-ff] end is updated to 01
pci 0000:01:00.0: disabling BAR 1: [mem 0x00000000-0x07ffffff] TOO BIG 
(alignment 0x1000)
pci 0000:00:01.0: BAR 8: assigned [mem 0xe0000000-0xe0bfffff]
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 3: assigned [mem 0xe0000000-0xe07fffff]
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 4: assigned [mem 0xe0800000-0xe0801fff]
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 0: assigned [mem 0xe0802000-0xe0802fff]
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 2: assigned [mem 0xe0803000-0xe0803fff]
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 5: assigned [mem 0xe0804000-0xe0804fff]
pci 0000:00:01.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01]
pci 0000:00:01.0:   bridge window [mem 0xe0000000-0xe0bfffff]

So this seems to be the final solution (without the hack above):

--- a/arch/arm/boot/dts/kirkwood-98dx4122.dtsi
+++ b/arch/arm/boot/dts/kirkwood-98dx4122.dtsi
                         bus-range = <0x00 0xff>;

                         ranges = <0x82000000 0 0x00040000 0x00040000 0 
0x00002000   /* Port 0.0 registers */
-                                 0x82000000 0 0xe0000000 0xe0000000 0 
0x08000000   /* non-prefetchable memory */
+                                 0x82000000 0 0xe0000000 0xe0000000 0 
0x0c000000   /* non-prefetchable memory */
                                   0x81000000 0 0          0xe8000000 0 
0x00100000>; /* downstream I/O */

                         pcie at 1,0 {

Does the above make sense? Am I setting up overlapping ranges this way?
Could I make it 0x10000000 so to have 256M?

Thanks a lot!
