How much I/O space does each adapter require?  PCI specification seems
to limit I/O space to 256 bytes per function.  How much I/O space is=20
the upstream PCIe switch configured to support?  Are there any other
I/O devices downstream from the same PCIe switch?  If you disable a
single function on the quad-port device does the allocation work?
What does "pciconf -lv" return on the system?
