I don't really understand the "bbbbbbbb" field in that range.  The
bridge has a "bus-ranges" property that defines the PCI bus numbers
below the bridge.  As I understand it, the first number in bus-ranges
is the root bus (the bus immediately below the host bridge).  Is
"bbbbbbbb" supposed to be identical to the that root bus number?  If
so, it seems redundant, so why does the "bbbbbbbb" field even exist?

If "bbbbbbbb" can be different from the root bus number, I don't know
what it means.  The host bridge translates CPU physical addresses to
PCI bus address on the root bus (the PCI bus immediately below the
bridge).  Once on the PCI side, the correspondence of memory addresses
to bus numbers is controlled completely by PCI-to-PCI bridges,
independent of what DT contains.

The way to control what bus addresses are available on bus 1 is to:

  1) Use DT to define the addresses available on bus 0 (the root bus) and
  2) Program the memory windows of 00:00.0 (the PCI-to-PCI bridge
     between bus 0 and bus 1

In other words, it's impossible to assign memory only on bus 1.  The
memory on bus 1 is a subset of what's available on bus 0.
