Spurious messages in kernel boot

[Tristan Tarrant]

With 2.6.31-11 on my HP dv7 notebook I get two messages like the following:

[ 0.748576] pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 6: no parent found for of device [0xfff80000-0xffffffff]
[ 0.748747] pci 0000:05:00.0: BAR 6: no parent found for of device [0xffff0000-0xffffffff]

Obviously in the quest to make the boot sequence as clean as possible they should be removed.

I have found discussion on patchwork about it, which also happens to contain a patch: http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/32238/
