FYI, jmg@ sent me the following patch that fixed a similar issue. The thing in common between systems seeing this hang appears to be that they have a Brooktree card installed. Seemingly, some Brooktree cards have a PCI capability claiming VPD support, but the VPD data is missing, which confuses the parser. One of the pci_read_vpd_reg() calls then gets stuck when it tries to read from an invalid address.
