As noted, I had already tested and posted that increasing
PCI_BUS_NUM_RESOURCES from 16 to 24 "solves" the problem as does
increasing it to 20, but I wonder if that isn't just papering over the
bug, which will reoccur when there is a machine with even a more
complicated PCI bus structure even more complicated than mine. Of
course, increasing it to something as large as 64 might delay the
problem "forever".
