I would rather fix ACPI to handle the bogus _BBN case by using _ADR to
read the bus number from config space.  Otherwise, we won't end up with
_PRT's for non-zero host-PCI bridges, meaning that we may end up trying
to mix and match $PIR and _PRT interrupt routing for the UP case, or
trying to mix and match mptable and _PRT routing for the SMP case.  We
should either let ACPI enumerate all host-PCI bridges or none.
