Subject: [patch] fix 64-vbit prefetchable memory resource BARs


Since patch 6ac665c63dcac8fcec534a1d224ecbb8b867ad59
my infiniband controller hasn't worked. This is because it has
64-bit prefetchable memory, which was mistakenly being taken to be
32-bit memory. The resource flags in this case are
PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_TYPE_64|PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_PREFETCH.

This patch checks only for the PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_TYPE_64 bit; thus
whether the region is prefetchable or not is ignored. This fixes my
Infiniband.

Applied to my linux-next branch, thanks. I'll be sending to Linus soon
(hopefully today).

Thanks,

I think this patch needs to be put in a 2.6.27-stable release.

Without it, we ignore the upper bits of 64-bit prefetchable BARs.

This is commit e354597cce8d219d135d65e585dc4f30323486b9 in Linus's
tree.

Thanks for the info, we will queue it up.
