[vortex] 3C575-TX and RedHat 7.1

[Andrew Morton]

Well, this:

	PCI: Failed to allocate resource 0(1000-fff) for 05:00.0

seems to be the initial problem.

As I said, something is failing with the PCI IO space allocation.
The kernel thinks that the device wants 0xffffffff bytes of IO
space.  Areas to investigate are the functions pci_read_bases()
and pci_assign_bus_resource().

Can you do some investigation in that area?
