Exactly.

Good question.  "pci=nocrs" would break a few things (PCI hotplug and
option ROM mapping for virtualized guests) on machines with multiple
host bridges.  And it would make us miss useful bug reports like this
one.

Backporting all the fixes to -stable seems a bit much.  A little patch to
make "pci=nocrs" the default seems more reasonable for -stable.

On the other hand, we don't really have all that many bug reports from
.34-36, and if we use "pci=nocrs" there, we'll effectively extend the
bug-finding period even longer than it already has been.

But I guess making .34-36-stable be as stable and bug-free as possible is
the whole point, and making "pci=nocrs" the default would probably be a win.
