Forget about that -- It looks like these messages are harmless:

pcieport 0000:0a:05.0: BAR 8: can't assign mem (size 0x200000)
pcieport 0000:0a:05.0: BAR 9: can't assign mem pref (size 0x200000)

It just means that we tried to allocate the resource but failed because the
bridge has that window closed, if I got it right. If user doesn't want to
see those, he/she can always pass 'pci=hpmensize=0,hpiosize=0' in the
kernel command line.

With pcibios_resource_survey_bus() fix, looks like this quirk is not needed
at all.
