Well you currently don't have such a patch so thats a disingenuous argument. More useful for the short term till this is fixed might be to provide pci_requires_mmconfig(dev) which forces it on for that device regardless and may (internal implementation detail) print a warning "if your system hangs at this point.." type message. That gets us the best of both worlds. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
