Sure, there are systems with multiple root buses (I'm a bit fuzzy on
how well Linux handles that), and bandwidth is important, but it's
simply wrong to assume that a particular root bus will never have
more than 6 or 8 devices. There are legitimate cases (firewalls
spring to mind) where port count is driven by other considerations
than aggregate bandwidth.
