That's weird.  Why does pci-bridge-emul.c care about the function
number?  Or maybe you're saying that pci-mvebu.c isn't smart enough to
build an emulated bridge at a non-zero function?  Or, since this is
emulated, maybe there's just no *reason* to ever use a non-zero
function?

It would really be nice to have the commit log and maybe even a
comment allude to what's going on here .  Otherwise this check sort of
dangles without having an obvious reason for existence.

Does this issue also affect pci-aardvark.c (which looks like the only
other user of pci_bridge_emul_init())?
