Hi,
The patch titled pci-disable-decoding-during-sizing-of-bars.patch in -mm
was previously used as a candidate to fix a boot hang with Intel's Q35
chipset: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198810
However, that particular issue is solved by commit a0ca9909609 in Linus
tree:
PCI x86: always use conf1 to access config space below 256 bytes
So unless there are other reasons for keeping
pci-disable-decoding-during-sizing-of-bars around, I think we can drop it.
Thanks,
Daniel

I agree it should be dropped.

operating system, but compare it to ours. We can't possibly take such
a retrograde step."
