What to do with: "warning: page-size limit reached"

I get this message in my proc/pci file. I have a system
with 16 ethernet ports and associated bridges and is
exceeding the single page limit on the size of proc/pci.

This is a big problem because the network drivers parse
/proc/pci to get their io address and IRQ info.

In fs/proc/array.c::array_read():

the page is allocated: if(!(page = __get_free_page(GFP_KERNEL)))

Is there a way I can allocate two contiguous pages as the buffer ??

TIA
Doug

PS: I'm not a kernel hacker and am really stuck here.

PSS: Does this mean you can't have networking without /proc ?
