pci device sysdata may be null, check in pcibus_to_node
We have been seeing panic's on NUMA systems in pci_call_probe() in
2.6.15-rc5-mm2 and -mm3. It seems that some changes have occured
to the meaning of the 'sysdata' for a device such that it is no
longer just an integer containing the node, it is now a structure
containing the node and other data. However, it seems that we do not
always initialise this sysdata before we probe the device.
Below are three examples from a boot with this checked for. It is
not clear to me whether it is reasonable to attempt to probe this
device without the bus sysdata being initialised. The attached
patch adds a safety check to pcibus_to_node() to avoid the panic,
this restores the 'call anytime' semantic for this function.
Someone who groks the bus initialisation better than I needs to look
this over and confirm whether its reasonable to have a null sysdata
or not.
