Agreed it is hard to test, but be aware that any system that has PCI-E
slots can host an add-in card that has a bridge on it. These are midly
common in some areas like high port count ethernet cards.

If you aren't going to attempt the implementation then a really big
FIXME that the config access routing is not correct and needs to be
based on the bus range assigned to the bridge would be friendly :)
