       This is most certainly wrong -> ^

                        and this too ->^^

Bot of these devices should get IRQ25. Why? Because on Macs, all four
IRQ lines of a PCI slot are OR'ed together on the bridge chip.
Therefore, there is one single fixed IRQ per PCI slot. So, the devices
behind the PCI-to-PCI bridge in slot 00:0f should all have the same IRQ,
which should be, following the obvious logic, IRQ 25.

Either a problem with the P2P bridge code in Linux, or with detecting
the IRQ's out of OF, as Ben suggested.

Stefan, you could try hardcoding that IRQ in the PCI fixup code, or in
the driver, and see whether that works...
