Same problem occurs with Dell Latitude D820 and 2.6.21.5 kernel.
Guys, are your machines otherwise working OK? I think it's time to remove that warning.
Working fine, with the exception of the tpm chip. I don't know if it's the fault of this message or a bug in the driver.
We'll kill that message in 2.6.24. See http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/gregkh-02-pci/pci-lets-kill-the-pci-hidden-behind-bridge-message.patch
