This is the case where the x86 and ppc PCI support not being
integrated is causing trouble.  These functions were originally
implemented in libbsp/powerpc/shared/pci, but lacking a unified PCI
api, some time ago I ported them to i386/shared/pcibios.c to provide
functionality in support of the elnk and dec21140 drivers.

i386/shared/pci/pcibios.c implements BSP_pciFindDevice, but that
function requires BusCountPCI.  However I don't see where BusCountPCI
got off to- it should be imiplemented in pcibios.c.  I think it got
removed somehow since I did build-test the drivers for i386.  Until
someone who knows how to make the pcibios calls in i386 go shows up to
obtain a real bus count, a temporary workaround could be to add the
following to pcibios.c;


unsigned char BusCountPCI()
{
  return 1;
}

this will support pci busses with no bridges to secondary busses,
which should handle pc kinds of systems.  A proper solution is to use
the pcibios calls to probe the PCI bus at boot time to find its
extent.
