Hi,

I'm seeing a strange problem with the PCI code on 2.4. What is happening
is that the PCI code seems to be detecting a memory region on my pcnet32
chip, but leaving it at 0x0:

prozac:~# lspci -v -vv -s 0c
00:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet
LANCE] (rev 16)
	Control: I/O- Mem- BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr-
Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
	Status: Cap- 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort-
<TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
	Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 15
	Region 0: I/O ports at 1000200 [disabled] [size=32]
	Region 1: Memory at <unassigned> (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled]
[size=32]
	Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=64K]

(On a 2.2 kernel, Region 1 and the Expansion ROM simply aren't there,
presumably bacuse the firmware doesn't enable them.)

How recent a 2.4?  There was a bug very like this in 2.4.0test6
affecting all architectures as far as i know.  It was resolved in the
latest 2.4.0-test7 prepatch.

This was test6; I'll give a test7-pre kernel a shot tonnight.

Problem still occurs with 2.4.0-test7-pre7 :-( I'll have to look at it
in more detail.
