This patch is a complete guess on my part (since I've not been
able to understand pseries architecture) but I think it should
fix your issue.

Can you give it a try and let me know? It applies on top of the
-mm tree that includes my physical pci_slot series.

Also, I'm hoping Linas will speak up and let me know what the
real answer might be. ;)

Thanks.

Subject: rpaphp: correctly call pci_hp_register for empty PCI slots

Unpopulated device_node slots do not have children, and
attempting to dereference them will result in a panic.

Instead, attempt to derive the PCI slot number from the bus
itself, and failing that, default to 0.
