No problem, thanks for reminding me about this.  I hadn't actually
forgotten about this patch, but it does seem like it's tangled up with
the whole pci_bus and pci_dev reference counting situation, so I was
hoping that if we could figure out a clean resolution to that, it
would make it more obvious what to do here.
