Hm, I understand this concern in a theoretical sense, but could
you explain more of what you're thinking about, and give me a
concrete example of something that might go wrong here?

I'm confident that I'm not changing the lifetime assumptions in
acpiphp_configure_bridge(), as the old code didn't seem to care
either.

Commit d6aa484c (acpiphp: convert to acpi_get_pci_dev) changed
from pci_find_bus() to use acpi_get_pci_dev(), and pci_find_bus()
does not elevate any reference counts.

What I'm trying to fix here is that acpi_get_pci_dev() /might/
not work all the time, namely on machines that have both:

a) hotpluggable root bridges
b) non-materialized root bridges

This seems like a good approach too, but I'd like to understand
your concern about acpi_is_root_bridge() first.

Thanks for the review.
