Sorry about the breakage. Can you try also cherry-picking this
commit:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git/commit/?h=for-linus&id=3bd7db63a841e8c5297bb18ad801df67d5e38ad2

Yinghai tripped over a similar problem in a different way, but I
suspect his fix might also fix the problem you're seeing.

If that doesn't fix it, we'll have to look farther.

I'm planning to ask Linus to pull this fix for v4.11-rc2.
