Hi Matt, First of all, sorry about breaking Nautilus, and thanks very much for tracking it down to this commit.

Can you collect a complete dmesg log, ideally both before and after f75b99d5a77d? I assume the problem is that after f75b99d5a77d? we erroneously assign space for something above 4GB. But if we know the correct host bridge apertures, we shouldn't assign space outside them, regardless of the PCI bus address size. Coincidentally, Christoph is replacing CONFIG_PCI_BUS_ADDR_T_64BIT with CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT, but I think that change is a no-op with respect to the problem you're seeing.
