Thanks Bjorn, so do you think a patch like the following would be better?

Subject: [PATCH] ia64: sn/pci/pcibr/pcibr_reg.c: remove unnecessary null pointer check
These functions are called only from pcibr_bus_fixup(), and it's impossible
for it to pass a null pointer. And these pointers are used before the checks.
