Subject: [PATCH 7/8] PCI: Check for child busses which use more bus numbers than allocated.

pci_scan_child_bus can (potentially) return a bus number higher than the subordinate
value of the child bus. Possible reasons are that bus numbers are reserved for
SR-IOV or for CardBus (SR-IOV is done without checks and the CardBus
checks are sketchy at best).

We clamp the returned value to the actual subordinate value and print a
warning if too many bus numbers are reserved.
