And at the end of pci_assign_unassigned_resources() function we enable pci bridges. So X86 call pci_enable_bridges() when doing device resource assignment. But in IA64, we assign device resource according BIOS setting in PCI BARs. No additional resource reassignment code support after scan all pci buses. In this respects, resource reassignment support is weak in IA64. But this patch mainly to fix the unbalanced dev->enable_cnt in IA64 which will print WARNING Calltrace in dmesg. If you think it is valuable, I will try to improve resource assignment in IA64 like other arch (eg arm, m68k, mips and sh..) in another patch. Thanks!
