Oops, I thought we had a check that we actually had a "pci-bridge"
device before continuing with the hotplug, but I guess not.

Hrm, right, 7ef1553dac was not really correct since add_drcs() really
can fail.

Yeah, I guess.  I'm pretty sure that the chassis number of bridges is
supposed to be system-unique (well, unique within the PCI domain at
least, I guess) as part of the hardware spec.  So specifying multiple
chassis ids the same is a user error, but we need a better failure
mode.

Arguably, it's really fixing 7ef1553dac.

I had a few misgivings about the details of this, but I think I've
convinced myself they're fine.  There's a couple of things I'd like to
polish, but I'll do that as a follow up.
