Hearsay? if you have definite cases, then please share them,
so folks know when to flip the boot parameter on. note: it would have to be
an early boot param as well.
It'd definitely be good to know all the specific cases.
But merely sharing them so folks will know when to use the parameter
is a broken model. We should make it work automatically, either with
some sort of machine-dependent quirk, or (preferably) with a change to
the generic algorithm so it can handle these "broken" topologies along
with all the correct ones.

In this case, doing a check that the parent is downstream PPB and the child is
downstream PPB could be done to identify the broken topology and automatically
scan dev nums > 0.
