This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled

    PCI: Disable IO/MEM decoding for devices with non-compliant BARs

to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y-ckt extended stable tree 
which can be found at:

    http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.13.y-queue

This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11-ckt38.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please 
reply to this email.

Subject: PCI: Disable IO/MEM decoding for devices with non-compliant BARs

commit b84106b4e2290c081cdab521fa832596cdfea246 upstream.

The PCI config header (first 64 bytes of each device's config space) is
defined by the PCI spec so generic software can identify the device and
manage its usage of I/O, memory, and IRQ resources.

Some non-spec-compliant devices put registers other than BARs where the
BARs should be.  When the PCI core sizes these "BARs", the reads and writes
it does may have unwanted side effects, and the "BAR" may appear to
describe non-sensical address space.

Add a flag bit to mark non-compliant devices so we don't touch their BARs.
Turn off IO/MEM decoding to prevent the devices from consuming address
space, since we can't read the BARs to find out what that address space
would be.
