acpiphp is *always* in use if we get to enable_slot(), so that doesn't
really add information here.

IIUC, the Inspiron problem happens when:

  - acpiphp_context->bridge is NULL, so hotplug_event() calls
    enable_slot() instead of acpiphp_check_bridge(), AND

  - acpiphp_slot->bus->self is also NULL, because enable_slot() calls
    pci_assign_unassigned_bridge_resources() with that NULL pointer,
    which dereferences "bridge->subordinate"

But I can't figure out why acpiphp_context->bridge is NULL for RP07
and RP08 (which don't exist), but not for RP03 (which does).

I guess all the acpiphp_contexts (RP03, RP07, RP08) must be allocated in
acpiphp_add_context() by acpiphp_init_context().

Woody's lspci from [1] shows only one Root Port:

  00:1c.0 Wildcat Point-LP PCI Express Root Port #3

The DSDT.DSL includes:

  Device (RP01) _ADR 0x001C0000		# 1c.0
  Device (RP02) _ADR 0x001C0001		# 1c.1
  Device (RP03) _ADR 0x001C0002		# 1c.2
  Device (RP04) _ADR 0x001C0003		# 1c.3
  Device (RP05) _ADR 0x001C0004		# 1c.4
  Device (RP06) _ADR 0x001C0005		# 1c.5
  Device (RP07) _ADR 0x001C0006		# 1c.6
  Device (RP08) _ADR 0x001C0007		# 1c.7

I can see why we might need a Bus Check after resume to see if
something got added while we were suspended.  But I don't see why we
handle RP03 differently from RP07 and RP08.

Can you help me out?  I'm lost in a maze of twisty passages, all
alike.
