Status of PCI-PCI bridge on UMAX S900

I had no time to fix that yet. email me in a couple of weeks, I'll have
finished moving and my boxes will be back up.

Note that it's not similar to the 9500, the 9500 has 2 host bridges while
you have only one with a PCI<->PCI bridge, the interrupt problem appear
to be specific to this configuration on an oldworld machine.

If you want to give it a look by yourself, the code that gets the
interrupt numbers is in arch/ppc/prom.c. Look at the bits that use the
"AAPL,interrupt" property and modify it slightly so that when it can't
find it, it looks for the parent.
