PCI / ACPI: Use boot-time resource allocation rules during hotplug On x86 platforms, the kernel respects PCI resource assignments from the BIOS and only reassigns resources for unassigned BARs at boot time. However, with the ACPI-based hotplug (acpiphp), it ignores the BIOS' PCI resource assignments completely and reassigns all resources by itself. This causes differences in PCI resource allocation between boot time and runtime hotplug to occur, which is generally undesirable and sometimes actively breaks things. Namely, if there are enough resources, reassigning all PCI resources during runtime hotplug should work, but it may fail if the resources are constrained. This may happen, for instance, when some PCI devices with huge MMIO BARs are involved in the runtime hotplug operations, because the current PCI MMIO alignment algorithm may waste huge chunks of MMIO address space in those cases. On the Alexander's Sony VAIO VPCZ23A4R the BIOS allocates limited MMIO resources for the dock station which contains a device (graphics adapter) with a 256MB MMIO BAR. An attempt to reassign that during runtime hotplug causes the dock station MMIO window to be exhausted and acpiphp fails to allocate resources for the majority of devices on the dock station as a result. To prevent that from happening, modify acpiphp to follow the boot time resources allocation behavior so that the BIOS' resource assignments are respected during runtime hotplug too.
