Do you mean two separate physical buses like on the CPC710 PHB?  If so,
then check out the SBS K2 LSP code in MontaVista CDK1.2 release
(ftp.mvista.com).  There's some extra layering in their to allow
for kernel resident PCI autoconfiguration before the generic bus scan
as well as transparent handling of config space accesses via the different
CFGA/CFGD addresses.
