Oh and BTW, it also fixed another issue I had loading myri10ge on this
board :

Before the patch :

After the patch, the lspci output is *exactly* the same but it works
much better :

root at xpgp:~# lspci -vvnn |egrep -i '^0|memory'

Thus I guess that the timeout I was seeing above during the modprobe was
caused by the incorrect mbus window.

So +1 on this part of the patch here :

        port->memwin_size = roundup_pow_of_two(port->memwin_size);

Cheers,
Willy
