See my other email I just sent out.

I really am not going to take some totally new experimental and hacky
major PCI resource management thing this late in the -rc game. No way,
no how.

If the top-down allocator is causing regressions that cannot be fixed
by _simple_ patches, we're simply going to have to undo it. What's the
advantage of top-down? None. Not if we then need all this crap, which
we could as easily do on top of the bottom-up one WITHOUT any
regressions.

Why isn't anybody else questioning the whole basic premise here?
