Thanks for testing these and collecting the dmesg log
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=24914).  That
log is from the PCI linux-next branch plus my patches, without
using "pci=use_crs".

On the current upstream (e.g., the c80d292 kernel you started with),
we have PCI_BUS_NUM_RESOURCES == 16.  Your _CRS returns 17 windows
(the "pci_root PNP0A08:00 host bridge window" lines), so when you
boot with "pci=use_crs", we should be discarding the last window,
which is an important one:

  pci_root PNP0A08:00: host bridge window [mem 0xc0000000-0xfebfffff]

Can you collect the dmesg log from the c80d292 kernel with "pci=use_crs"?
I'm sorry to trouble you for this, but it still looks to me like that
should fail, so I'd really like to understand why it's working.
