In inbound region configuration, whole DDR space is mapped into the
BAR of RC. When Linux PCI mid-layer starts enumerating, it reads the
size of BAR of RC and tries to fit it into the memory resource. First
thing is that the outbound memory is not enough to map the inbound BAR
space. This creates problem with the resource management logic and
second thing is that, it is not required to map inbound BAR space RC
bar as no one will be accessing it further.

As Jason suggested, Bridge BAR's should be 0 size unless the bridge
itself has registers. However this is not the case with XGene PCIe
controller. It may have been inherited from the legacy design.
'arch/powerpc/sysdev/ppc4xx_pci.c' has similar fixup function.

That is correct :-). Could not find the card. Thanks for the patch below.

I will post the arm64 pci patch along with next revision of this
driver. That will cover the 'pci_ioremap_io' as well.
