Ron? You can probably tell if bus->dev==NULL in read_resources(bus)
is an error or if we need to handle it cleanly.

Fix two NULL pointer dereferences in device code.
Add a nasty warning if one of the cases triggers because that should
not happen. We should fix the cases where the warning triggers.
