Ok so you have 2 pci buses one with 5 devices and one with 3 and you
are trying to plug the BT device into Bus 1 to make it 4 devices.

If your riser card  (which BTW unless it has a bridge is not allowed
by the PCI spec)  has 12 AD lines that can attach to the IDSEL line
but you only have 3 devices on your bus I don't see how you can have a
conflict with 11 of those 12 devices. Seems at maximum you should only
be able to conflict with 3 of the 12.

I'm confused.  Your video cards are on bus 0 how does that relate to
conflicts on Bus 1?

Hmmm.. That seems like some sort of driver issue.  If it shows in an
lspci then the rest is all driver stuff.
