Your patch avoids sizing transparent bridges.  I don't have an opinion
on whether that's a good idea in general.

However, I am curious about what breaks on your system when we do size
the transparent bridge.  It seems like sizing it should *work*, even
if it's not strictly necessary, so I wonder if this hang is telling us
about some other PCI allocation issue we should fix.  Would you mind
opening a bugzilla for this, since the current tree is broken for you,
and attaching a log or digital photo of the hang?
