Currently there are 97 occurrences where drivers need the pci

Good idea. I always wondered why we read the invariants so often
in the code.
BTW, if you add code like this, you also have to add the
appropriate code to do this for all the platforms that probe
the PCI bus using a firmware device tree like sparc64
and powerpc do.
yes absolutely, I'll try to see if I can come up with that. Also, I'll add
reading the class part at the same time since that just makes sense.
