The BIOS often assigns PCI bridge windows, e.g., for root ports
leading to ExpressCard slots. I assume BIOSes make similar
assumptions there about what ExpressCards are likely to be plugged in.
Is your BIOS assistance the same sort of thing, or is there something
additional happening at hot-add time? (I think there might be AML
that does Thunderbolt-specific stuff at hotplug-time, but I assume
that's not related to resource assignment, because the OS owns those
resources.)

ROMs usually aren't very big compared to regular memory BARs. Is the
problem just that adding space the BIOS didn't plan for causes the OS
to increase the window size and bump into space assigned to a peer of
the Thunderbolt controller?

I assume the only reason we should not allocate expansion ROM space is
to avoid resource exhaustion. If we had enough resources, allocating
ROM space wouldn't cause anything bad to happen, would it?

I'm not really sure why this test is here. I dimly recall hearing
that Thunderbolt hotplug requires some work at hotplug-time, and this
is not all public, and hence is done by AML. But that in itself
doesn't seem related to the question of allocating ROM space.

We have a pci_dev, so this should use dev_info().

I think you really only care about the space for ROMs on devices
connected via Thunderbolt, so it's kind of a shame that the switch is
global and affects ROMs on *all* devices. I guess there's nothing
simple to be done about that, though.

"is_hotplug_bridge" is also used in MPS management
(pcie_find_smpss()). Did you investigate that and make sure this is
safe? I think the Thunderbolt controller supports hotplug, and I'm
not sure what will happen if the MPS code assumes it doesn't.
