Yes, and device_lookup() and device_lookup_private() does it for you.
But with this we're back to the old code. You have to use different
/dev/pciN for the different busses. I don't see this as a problem;
I think all what you need is the list of PCI busses (list of autoconf indexes)
which you could get by a specific ioctl (either a "get the list" ioctl,
or a "get the next bus" ioctl).
