Uh, OK.
I'm not trying to be a nuisance, but if there's a machine where
we think there's a bridge window like [mem 0xfed20000-0xffffffff],
I want to fix it, even if you think it's "good enough for 2.6.34."
I was hoping you could specifically confirm that "yes, that AMD
machine was fixed by d558b483d5a," or else give me some more
information that would help me figure out what's going on.
