    With PCI_GOMMCONFIG enabled and PCIE Port Bus driver included, I got
    kernel
    panic at boot time on a non-pci express box. Similar to your case, I
    observed something down in the ACPI subsystem. I tested the other case
    where the kernel is built with PCI_GOMMCONFIG and without PCIE Port
    Bus driver being included, same kernel panic occurred at boot time. I
    tested
    another case where the kernel is built with PCI_GOANY and with PCIE Port

    Bus driver being included, the kernel boots fine. Based on these test
    results,
    it seems that PCI_GOMMCONFIG, not PCIE Port Bus driver, is a root cause
    of kernel panic.

    It seems that it is ok to apply the patch for now. What do you think?

    Thanks,
