That does not work. The bridge in question may not even be visible as a
PCI device, so you can't link to it. This is the case on a few PCIe
cards which only have a PCIx chip and a PCIe-2-PCIx bridge to implement
the PCIe interface (yes, I have seen those cards).


How does the kernel detect that devices behind the invisible bridge must be assigned as a unit?
