Ok. I overlooked the changes in arch/alpha/kernel/pci.c:pcibios_fixup_bus().
(As you know, things changed alot between -test10 and -test12)

The other part of the comment I added was:
+** Disabling *all* devices is bad. Console, root, etc get

I can't debug with *all* devices disabled.
Normally, the whole point of resource mgt is to (a) avoid overlaps
and (b) reflect the state of the HW. I thought the arch specific code
was responsible for setting the HW state and resource mgt state congruent.
If the arch/alpha code wants everything reallocated anyway, why not have
the arch code disable the HW during the bus walk in pcibios_fixup_bus()
before calling pci_assign_unassigned_resources()?
(I'm looking at 2.4.0 linux/arch/alpha/kernel/pci.c:common_init_pci() )
FYI, under PDC PAT (eg A500), unused devices are left in the "power
on" state (which AFAIK, implies disabled).

possibly...I have another problem I wanted to solve - FBB support.
I think generic Fast Back-Back support wants a new field in struct pci_bus
(u32 bridge_ctl) to save and manage the FBB state (and SERR/PERR).
Arch support would need a way to initialize bridge_ctl *before*
pci_do_scan_bus() is called to indicate FBB is or is not supported
by the parent PCI bus controller (either HBA or PCI-PCI Bridge).
Originally I was thinking of seperating the "root" bus allocation
from pci_scan_bus(). But calling pcibios_set_bridge_control()
before the bus walk would work too if it passes struct pci_bus *
as the parameter. And that could allow arch specific control over
SERR/PERR bits as well.
In pcibios_fixup_bus(), the arch code could check FBB state to see
if it should be enabled on that HBA or not. Ideally, generic code
would fully handle FBB for PCI-PCI secondary busses. Perhaps the FBB
test could be in pci_setup_bridge() but I'm not sure if that would work
for all arches (ie not sure off hand which uses pci_setup_bridge()).

I think my change in pdev_sort_resources() permitted it to occur in
generic code. parisc HBA code only calls request_resources for resources
assigned by firmware to the HBA.

hmmm...Code in alpha's pcibios_fixup_bus() modifies PCI-PCI Bridge
resources. It wouldn't if your statement were literally true.
I reversed the two changes in my tree to see what breaks on A500:

Should I try to follow alpha's pcibios_fixup_bus() and add the code following
(linux 2.4.0, arch/alpha/kernel/pci.c line 256)
/* This is a bridge. Do not care how it's initialized,
just link its resources to the bus ones */
to the parisc pcibios_fixup_bus() ?
Or do you want to change how alpha works to follow what you said?
I would prefer this but it doesn't matter ATM; just needs to work.
thanks!
