FYI, jmg_at_ sent me the following patch that fixed a similar issue.
The thing in common between systems seeing this hang appears to be
that they have a Brooktree card installed. Seemingly, some Brooktree
cards have a PCI capability claiming VPD support, but the VPD data
is missing, which confuses the parser. One of the pci_read_vpd_reg()
calls then gets stuck when it tries to read from an invalid address.
