    So if there's devices that can only be "base" pci, and have issues
    with all other types of pci-like buses, is there a way to say "only
    on pci bus, but none of the derived buses"? Or is it better to list
    those derived buses that are known to cause problems? I'd imagine
    that these devices would be rare, but I've worked on one....

    Also, we're violating the PC Card spec by not matching the CIS values,
    but reading the vendor/device instead. Technically, this is a
    violation and those registers aren't reqiured to be defined. So far,
    nobody has showed up with devices that don't have them, but I thought
    I'd point this out. It has been theorized that this is because so
    many designs share silicon with PCI.
