I had considered that but decided against it as it would make things
a bit more complicated for stable maintainers.

Nevertheless I'll be happy to split in two if this is the consensus?
I'm not sure though if x86/urgent is a rebasing branch?

Good point. I've just checked pci_scan_bridge() and it does verify that
and avoids recursing to a child bus if it's number is zero. It also
ensures that sec > num before recursing.

I can provide a follow-up patch to fix that, will wait a bit though to
see if there are further comments.

The commit message of 8659c406ade3 sounds like this would lengthen
boot time noticeably, so I expected significant backlash had I just
gone back to this old algorithm.

Thanks,
