Hurm. The trick is you need the chip to issue a type 0 request. The
Marvell docs say this happens automatically basd on the 'internal bus
number'

The only other reference to bus number is in the PCI Express Status
Register (41A04), so that probably needs to be set to the subordinate
bus number of the bridge.

Hum, looks like this is only for root complex links not end devices -
PCI-X had a register for this but it seems to have been removed in
PCI-E.
