freebsd stable - Jan 2009 - possibility of a "severe flaw in the logic of FreeBSD's kernel handling multiple host bridges ..."

First: Congratulations upon 7.1 final RELEASE !

On Fri, 24 Oct 2008, I pointed out the

    "possibility of a severe flaw in the logic of FreeBSD's kernel
     handling multiple host bridges
     and the corresponding assignment of
     (in principle, correctly detected)
     devices to their host bridges"

:: -->   http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/128331

:: -->   http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=236

but unfortunately, I did not get any response at all.
Two mails to "kensmith@cse.Buffalo.EDU" asking for any contact e-mail 
address of a FreeBSD Kernel developer knowing his way around 
host-bridges and PCI-devices also gave no reaction.

I am sorry for this noise
(I would have preferred to handle this more quietly),
but finally I take hope to the advice of Daniel Gerzo (Thanks @ danger):

"If you will not receive any feedback I would recommend you to send an
email to current@ and stable@ mailing lists. PR's sometimes get lost
in the traffic and not all developers are checking GNATS all the time."

Looking forward to a contact

Kind regards

Manfred

I'm really not sure that I am the best person to try and tackle this,
but it does fall somewhere near me... Can you send me a pciconf -lv.
