You've applied the "Raven" host bridge patch and it breaks your PReP?

Until someone can tell me that having a correct PCI host bridge actually
breaks something I'll continue to ask that the patch be applied.  I
believe fixes some problems and that even in the working situations it
makes things more correct.  Real PReP hardware has a PCI host bridge -
whether it's the Motorola Raven, Eagle, Grackle or whatever.

If someone can show that having a correct PCI host bridge breaks
something then I'll either rework the patch or drop it.  I know that I
have created some broken patches before (HFS comes to mind) and I don't
have a problem rethinking.
