Fix i450NX handling of PCI peer buses when BIOS reports them correctly
 

After posting my patch to linux-pci Matthew Wilcox looked at the issue
and came up with a two-line permanent fix in the ACPI code that doesn't
require matching DMI or anything else exotic.

Can we get Matthew's patch into hardy to deal with this?

The PCI root bus that ACPI wants to scan may have already been discovered
by another means. In the case of Bugzilla 10396, it was found by
pci_fixup_i450nx(), but there are many other ways to find root busses.

The problem is that pci_scan_bus() will return NULL both for busses
which don't exist and for busses which were already scanned. We could
decide to make pci_scan_bus() return an ERR_PTR() to allow callers to
distinguish the two situations, but it is simpler for ACPI to check
whether the bus already exists.

Fix i450NX handling of PCI peer buses when BIOS reports them correctly
 

It turns out there's another bugzilla report on this issue:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10124

With a more wordy patch that is in the -mm tree right now.

I'm going to cherry-pick that and test it to make sure it works for the
issue I reported but for now I hope we can release with Matthew's simple
2-liner.

TJ.
