[RFC/PATCH] pci: Workaround invalid P2P bridge bus numbers

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt]

Some firmware fail to properly configure P2P bridges, leaving them
with invalid bus numbers. In some cases, this happens on some embedded
4xx boards as the result of the kernel allocating different bus space
than the firmware does to host bridges while not setting
pcibios_assign_all_busses() for various reasons. In other cases, it can
just be bogus firmware.

This adds some sanity checking to the PCI probing code. If a bridge is
found whose primary bus number doesn't match the bus it's sitting on,
or whose secondary bus number not strictly above it's primary bus
number, then the bridge bus numbers are deconfigured in the first pass
of pci_scan_bridge() to be re-assigned in the second pass.

Ayman, can you double check that this variant of the patch still
fixes your problem ? Thanks !

Jesse, if it works for Ayman and you have no objection, can this
still go into 2.6.28 ? The root cause of the problem on PPC 4xx is
a bit more tricky and will be fixed later but I believe that this
added robustness to our code won't harm (and will work around the
problem until I have fixed the root cause).
