I've had a patch to fakephp that did something like this for a while, but I
called pci_bus_assign_resources() _after_ adding the devices with calls to
pci_bus_add_device().  It seems like that might be easier, to just add all
the devices and then call pci_bus_assign_resources() when done.  It appears
to work fine for me.  Is there a reason this is wrong?
