I would think that there is a board that's more similar, then, but I'm not sure.

There are a couple of ways.  lspci from the factory BIOS is probably
the easiest.  There are a couple of registers that would tell you.

Try:
sudo lspci -xxx -s 18.0

Then look at the line that starts with e0:

mine is:
e0: 03 00 00 03 03 01 40 40 ...

Configuration Base and Limit 0–3 Registers Function 1: Offset E0h, E4h, E8h, ECh

Remember that the byte order is little endian, and my registers are:

e0 03000003 - bus 0-3 on node 0 link 0 rw enabled
e4 40400103 - bus 40-40 on node 0 link 1 rw enabled

The patch shouldn't be too big, you could just send it to the list.

Thanks,
