Hi Bjorn,
I think the name pci_find_next_bus() is misleading, it should be named
pci_find_next_root_bus() actually because it returns next root bus indeed.

Yeah, it's very architecture specific. I think i7core_edac assume no PCI
root bus hotplug on i7 platforms because it's desktop or mobile processors.
