Thanks for the review Marc.  I believe this is a property coming out of
the core PCI IOV code:

drivers/pci/iov.c:virtfn_add_bus()

        child = pci_add_new_bus(bus, NULL, busnr);

That second arg is the dev for the new bus, which gets passed as
'bridge' to:

drivers/pci/probe.c:pci_alloc_child_bus()

        child->self = bridge;

Resulting in our bus->self == NULL issue.

We have the following call path to virtfn_add_bus:

pci_enable_sriov
  sriov_enable
    virtfn_add
      virtfn_add_bus

The only thing unique I can think of for my system is that I'm using the
max_vfs module option for igb, but it's not apparent to me how that
would trigger anything different through here.  Thanks,

Alex
