Ugh.  I don't see how this is a maintainable solution.  Are we going
to have to just update this blacklist empirically as we get reports of
systems that are "broken"?

I say "broken" because I don't think we can point to anything here
that doesn't conform to the specs, so maybe we tripped over something
that *should* be covered in the spec, or maybe we're just not
interpreting something correctly.

For example, it looks like PCI_EXP_FLAGS_SLOT is set, but Linux
basically ignores it.  Maybe if PCI_EXP_FLAGS_SLOT is set but we
aren't using pciehp, we should assume any hotplug would be handled via
acpiphp?  And in that case, we should avoid doing anything that would
prevent platform firmware from enumerating things below the bridge?

Is there a bugzilla or any other URL we could include here to help with
future changes in this area?
