so we still have your min_size code there.
in your case:
you need plug all card in your slots on that daughter card at first, and then insert the daughter card to leaf slot in the MB.
my setup is :
system got 4 io chains. and will get slot:
00:03.0 00:05.0 00:07.0 00:09.0
40:03.0 40:05.0 40:07.0 40:09.0
80:03.0 80:05.0 80:07.0 80:09.0
c0:03.0 c0:05.0 c0:07.0 c0:09.0
those are hanged on peer root buses directly. but bios assign to them every one get 8M, if user plug one card need 256M, then it will not work.
with those two patches, could clear the resource assigned by BIOS, and get resource as needed. ( with mmio 64 bit )
