Yes, if you build and run linux-next, that's a great service because
it helps find problems before they appear in mainline.

I guess the problem is that with "pci=nocrs", we ignore the MMIO and
I/O port resources from _CRS, but we still pay attention to bus number
resources in _CRS?  That does sound like it would be unexpected
behavior.

I *would* like to see the complete dmesg log because these _CRS
methods are pretty reliable because Windows relies on them as well, so
problems are frequently a result of Linux defects.  If we can fix
Linux or automatically work around issues so users don't have to use
"pci=nocrs" explicitly, that's the best.
