I'm far from an expert in this area, but it might be worth it to
experiment by turning one one or all of these options, found in
the i386 GENERIC kernel config:

# PCI fixups, for both PCIBIOS and ACPI
#options        PCI_ADDR_FIXUP          # fixup PCI I/O addresses
#options        PCI_BUS_FIXUP           # fixup PCI bus numbering
#options        PCI_INTR_FIXUP          # fixup PCI interrupt routing

Yes, this means you need a custom kernel...
