The subtractive decode theory makes sense and would explain what's
happening, but I don't like this patch.

If we assume that this really is a subtractive decode issue, this
patch approaches it the wrong way.  We need to know whether a
particular host bridge is configured for subtractive decode.  This
patch tests whether we have more than one host bridge, which is quite
a different question.

Imagine these system configurations:

  1) a single host bridge with subtractive decode
  2) a single host bridge with only positive decode
  3) multiple host bridges with subtractive decode enabled on one
  4) multiple host bridges with only positive decode

This patch will break if we encounter configs 2 or 3.  In config 2,
this patch assumes the bridge performs subtractive decode, so we
think the bridge forwards more address space than it actually does.
If we try to use that address space, the device will never see the
accesses.  In config 3, this patch assumes there's no subtractive
decode, so we would see Jeff's problem all over again.

For configs 3 and 4, there might be a single host bridge in domain 0,
with the others in different domains.  This patch would find only one
host bridge (the one in domain 0), so we would wrongly assume that ALL
the host bridges use subtractive decode, which is obviously a disaster.
