mptables and missing devices

Hi,

is there a reason why the mptable creation uses dev_find_slot()
to find the bridges instead of dev_find_device()? Since it does
not even check whether the device it finds is the one it wants
this sounds rather dangerous.

Taking the PCI_CLASS field into regard, it should be possible to
search for all bridges in the system and generate the necessary
mptable entries from the information gathered from the devices
(SUBORDINATE_BUS, SECONDARY_BUS)

Am I digging in the dark?
