Yes, pci_irq_get_node(), which NO ONE CALLS!  I should go delete that
thing...

Anyway, it looks like the pci core code does call set_dev_node() based
on the PCI bridge, so if that is set up properly, all should be fine.

If not, well, you have buggy firmware and you need to warn about that at
the time you are creating the bridge.  Look at the call to
pcibus_to_node() in pci_register_host_bridge().

And yes, you need to do this all on a per-bus-type basis, as has been
pointed out.  It's up to the bus to create the device and set this up
properly.

thanks,
