device + function is 8bits (8 functions, 32 slots)
bus is 8bits

domain to X is a bit different to domain to the PCI space I suspect. A
system can have multiple unconnected PCI busses that are not part of a
domain (ie dont share config space)

I also don't know what the new PCI replacements do to all these values,
and that may be more important ?
