Yeah, the DMAR looks at the source-id in the PCIe transactions, and it
sounds like those are all 04:00.0. But we've probably set up the DMAR to
allow the transactions from 04:00.4, and then it naturally faults when a
"different" device actually ends up doing the transaction.

If you make the pci_find_upstream_pcie_bridge() function do the
appropriate thing for this device, does it then work as expected?

Whether that's a _sane_ thing to do or not is possibly more of a Jesse
question...
