What's the breakage?

This looks like some kind of resource problem:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

that's crazy man.  Is that really what it prints, or the the 'c'
missing and it actually allocates:

0xcffff800-0xcffff8ff irq 22 at device 10.0 on pci1

which would make more sense.  Since it is behind a bridge, that might
also have some impact on as well.  That's what the pcib5 thing is
saying, I think.
