pci=realloc will attempt to handle additional pci resources like bars that were
not handled by the bios on boot.  Whether or not it succeeds will depend on the
number and size of the bars.  Do you also need pci=norcs?  You may just be
getting lucky on the nvidia card if it uses fewer or smaller bars.  Please
attach the full dmesg output.  You should see messages about unassigned
resources.
