 In fact, the attached patch is incorrect because it does not care 
 whether the BIOS is broken or not.  That's why we have different 
 version in -CURRENT.  A 'real' fix is to re-do subordinate bus 
 numbers when we initialize PCI bridges - search for XXX comments in 
 the same function.  I believe jhb or imp was interested in fixing 
 these at some point but I don't remember who it was; spamming 
 both. ;-)

 I believe you are right about that. :-(
