But what if the number of busses increases later, eg by hotplugging
a card with a PCI-PCI bridge on it?  Or does it know the number of
busses which can be supported by this machine's MMCONFIG region?
If so, why isn't this information reported in the MCFG table properly
instead of claiming to support 0-255?
