Right, it's not verbose on failure for various reasons. Most failures
because something went wrong -before- the failure. IE. Your missing
interrupt parent would make it go to the parent etc... and it would fail
later on for a totally different reason than the original missing
interrupt parent.

Also, there's a number of older machines out there with crap
device-trees on which we know it will fail. The PCI code has a fallback
mechanism for them.

However, there's pretty extensive debug output that you can enable
explicitely in that file.

Cheers,
Ben.
