Last night I had forgotten about the fundamental point of krefs - track
references to pointers - and this answers the question.
I'm looking at the holders of pointers to the phb struct, and it seems
I wasn't too far off w/ the child buses and devices idea -- as the root
bus (phb->bus) is assigned the phb pointer in the bus->sysdata field,
and it's inherited from parent by child buses and devices.
I'll continue here. Comments always welcome.
