I've finally committed it in src/sys/lkm/dev/pcilkm, along with two
examples of its use.  It's not built by default, you have to go there
and compile it yourself.

Well, there is pci_find_device() for that purpose.  The drawback is that
you have to be very careful not to attach to just anything, as you can't
know if someone has already mapped regions or interrupts before you.
