Well the obvious thing is the pci scanning and hot plug interface means that
PCI ordering is now a more generic issue. I suspect what you'd need to do
is to implement a version of 

	pcibios_sort()

that sorted in backwards order, then add a pcibios=reverse option to
pcibios_setup

Its all in arch/i386/kernel/pci-pc.c
