No, that's not what I meant. What happens is that no pre-assigned bus
range is specified for either of the host bridges, so that the range
0x00-0xff will be assigned by default in pci_scan_root_bus(). If I
understand correctly, what needs to be done is partition the bus range
between the two bridges (equally?). That would allow hot-plug scenarios
and be more in line with how other architectures do things.

I don't know if the Tegra PCIe controller supports hot-plug, though, so
maybe that wouldn't even be an issue and dynamic assignment would be
okay.
