The thing is.. the table is small-- how many pci devices are in the
system, anyways?  and you -can't- do hotplug right without this kind of
functionality.  e.g. you could use an exceptionall small linked list for
this purpose, e.g. <20 bytes per device.

It also assumes that rescanning things after beginning to use them is
safe-- which might not necessarily be a safe assumption with broken
hardware.
