I have no explanation for why it's not called in 2.6.9 ... Can you have
a look at what's going on in 2.6.9 arch/ppc64/kernel/pci.c ?

pci_probe_only should be set to 0 by the pmac_pci.c code, thus causing
pci_assign_unassigned_resources() to actually be called...

There are 2 different issues here:

 - pci_assign_unassigned_resources() should be called by both kernels, I
want to understand why it's not by 2.6.9...

 - pci_assign_unassigned_resources() seem to not work properly, that is,
it moves around things that don't need to be moved thus causing your
problem when it's actually called. The later, I'll do a workaround by
leaving pci_probe_only to 1 instead of 0 for 2.6.10, but we need to get
that fixed in the long term...
