Unhiding devices in pci bus

Hi all...

I have an Aspire One, and the JMicron SD Card reader is hidden from sysfs
space, it only shows if I do an lspci -H1 (direct hardware access):
...
00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 02)
00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 02)
00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 3 (rev 02)
00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 4 (rev 02)
...
04:00.0 System peripheral: JMicron Technologies, Inc. Device 2382
04:00.2 SD Host controller: JMicron Technologies, Inc. Device 2381
04:00.3 System peripheral: JMicron Technologies, Inc. Device 2383
04:00.4 System peripheral: JMicron Technologies, Inc. Device 2384

lspci -M:

...

1e.0 Bridge to 05-05
1c.3 Bridge to 04-04
1c.2 Bridge to 03-03
1c.1 Bridge to 02-02
1c.0 Bridge to 01-01
...

If I load the driver (sdhci), it does not detect anything. It looks like
it is hidden/hung after one of the pci bridges, how can I make this device
visible for the driver ?

Thanks.
