Checking num_children against max_dev is the right thing to do, no
argument here.
However, max_index continues to be incremented even if devices have
been unplugged again. That means it can overflow, as it is never bound
by the max_dev constraint.
This has been a problem before for busses with an unrestricted number of
devices before, but with your patch, the problem is now triggerable for
all busses.
Not a problem with your patch, but we might want to look into making
max_index overflow/wraparound save.
