Huh?

This one.  It's not that seabios has problems with PCI bridges.  It
finds then, initializes them and maps the devices behind it just fine:

PCI: map device bdf=00:1f.3  bar 4, addr 0000d000, size 00000040 [io]
PCI: map device bdf=00:02.0  bar 1, addr 0000d040, size 00000040 [io]
PCI: map device bdf=00:1f.2  bar 4, addr 0000d080, size 00000020 [io]
PCI: map device bdf=00:02.0  bar 6, addr feb00000, size 00040000 [mem]
PCI: map device bdf=00:02.0  bar 0, addr feb40000, size 00020000 [mem]
PCI: map device bdf=00:01.0  bar 6, addr feb60000, size 00010000 [mem]
PCI: map device bdf=00:1f.2  bar 5, addr feb70000, size 00001000 [mem]
PCI: map device bdf=00:01.0  bar 1, addr feb71000, size 00001000 [mem]
PCI: map device bdf=00:01.0  bar 0, addr fc000000, size 02000000 [prefmem]
PCI: map device bdf=01:00.0  bar 0, addr 0000c000, size 00000040 [io]
PCI: map device bdf=01:00.0  bar 1, addr fea00000, size 00001000 [mem]

It looks more like a simple bug in the virtio code:

found virtio-scsi at 1:0
ERROR: queue size 65535 > 128
fail to find vq for virtio-scsi 1:0

Probably easy to fix, I'll have a look later today.

cheers,
  Gerd
