Mmm, i understand that the 2.6.x pci domain will make this not
necessary. I might be wrong though.

bus 1 is used as an agp bus anyway, and i doubt there are many agp
graphic cards out there with pci bridges on them. When i inserted my
Appian Jeronimo 2000 in that board, it refused to powerup at all, but
