This is voodoo kernel development, and I don't think we should do it.

Can you explain the cause of Graham's oops?  All I can see is that we
discovered a host bridge window of [mem 0x80000000-0xfcffffffff] to
bus 00, we did *not* find a bridge leading to bus 80, we found a device
on bus 80 that is inside the window forwarded to bus 00, so we moved
that device outside the window:

  bus: 00 index 1 [mem 0x80000000-0xfcffffffff]
  pci 0000:80:01.0: reg 10: [mem 0xfebfc000-0xfebfffff 64bit]
  pci 0000:80:01.0: address space collision: [mem 0xfebfc000-0xfebfffff 64bit] conflicts with PCI Bus #00 [mem 0x80000000-0xfcffffffff]
  pci 0000:80:01.0: BAR 0: set to [mem 0xfd00000000-0xfd00003fff 64bit]

I have no idea why this led to a page fault at ffffc90000078000:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc90000078000
  IP: [<ffffffffa0018d11>] azx_probe+0x3a2/0xa6a [snd_hda_intel]

It looks to me like amd_bus.c just failed to discover the host bridge
to bus 80.  If the BIOS can program the chipset to work that way, we
should be able to figure that out, too.

Graham, I think your "pci=earlydump" log is missing the KERN_DEBUG
output.  It would be interesting to see that for the patched kernel
so we can compare it with 2.6.34.
