Yep.  Anything more complicated than just calling down to libpciaccess
will go away, possibly by moving it down to libpciaccess.

It looks like the major remaining obstacle to that is that we also need
per-domain maps for the legacy _memory_ space below 1M.  Easy enough
though.  Once we have that I think most of linuxPci.c and bsd_pci.c can
be thrown away and we'll finally just have a trivial PCI layer.  Hey,
and it's only taken us four years since the initial pciaccess merge!
Positively overnight by X standards.
