Please test a kernel with the attached patches, applied in the order:
x86-PCI-for-debuggability-show-host-bridge-windows-e.patch
x86-PCI-use-host-bridge-_CRS-info-by-default-on-2008.patch
x86-PCI-Use-_CRS-by-default-on-VMware.patch
and without adding the kernel parameter.
This should result in a boot log message:
PCI: Using host bridge windows from ACPI; if necessary, use "pci=nocrs" and
report a bug
If VMware was not detected as I intended, then you'll see:
PCI: Ignoring host bridge windows from ACPI; if necessary, use
"pci=use_crs" and report a bug

From: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helg...@hp.com> Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2010 10:24:41 -0700 Subject: x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS info by default on 2008 and newer machines Part of commit 7bc5e3f2be32ae6fb0c74cd0f707f986b3a01a26 upstream. The main benefit of using ACPI host bridge window information is that we can do better resource allocation in systems with multiple host bridges, e.g., http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14183 Sometimes we need _CRS information even if we only have one host bridge, e.g., https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/341681 Most of these systems are relatively new, so this patch turns on "pci=use_crs" only on machines with a BIOS date of 2008 or newer.

Subject: x86/PCI: for debuggability, show host bridge windows even when
ignoring _CRS
commit f1db6fde09e201218f488d7205a7cd7bc448d496 upstream.
We have occasional problems with PCI resource allocation, and sometimes
they could be avoided by paying attention to what ACPI tells us about
the host bridges. This patch doesn't change the behavior, but it prints
window information that should make debugging easier.
