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. :-(
