Re: [patch] pcibus_to_node() addition to topology infrastructure

[Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@sgi.com>]

This is a nice addition, but just FYI there are SGI systems that have
PCI busses attached to more than one node.  I guess for now we can just
round-robin through the attached nodes for the return value.

Thanks,
Jesse
