But it's a PCI bridge, if it is not set properly, that needs to be fixed
otherwise the PCI devices attached to it have no hope of working
properly.

Odd, what happens to devices behind another bridge today?  Are their
nodes set properly today?  Is the node supposed to be the same as the
parent bridge?

Fixing that will be good :)

That's a good start.  Try running it on your machines (big and small)
and see what happens.

And can you fix your bios?  If you can't then why are we going to warn
about this?
