Yes, with these lines removed bridge memory window is properly
allocated.

These lines are to prevent updating IO or memory windows when there
are
some devices working behind the bridge. So please note that removing
these lines is just for debugging.
This is not a very good way to do so though. Many firmwares will leave
those enabled even when the bridges -do- have to be reconfigured.
Bah, my bad ... pci_is_enabled() is confusing... At first sight I would
have thought it would return whether the device command register MEM or
IO enable are set. Instead, it returns whether pci_enable_device() has
been called.

In any case, Felix bridge looks a tad weird. It should really be handled
by a specific hotplug driver imho.

Cheers,
Ben.
