The patch certainly seems to do what you say. I'm not really up on the
innards of PCI, so I'm struggling to figure out by what code path
pci_bus_remove() might invalidate pci_bus->bridge? A quick look at
pci_remove_bus was not very illuminating but I didn't chase down every
call it made.

Kind regards,
Daniel
