Ok, thanks.

I'm not going to do anything about it right now, since clearly we've not 
changed any actual behavior from before. But if you remind me after 2.6.31 
is out, I'll look at perhaps making a better "pci_claim_resource()" that 
actually iterates over the different parent resources and doesn't just try 
to find one (and then fail if that particular one doesn't work out).
