I'm not opposed to it, but I have the same question as for setting up
the domain: how does pci_scan_root_bus() learn what to assign to
bus->msi? It currently only gets a "void *sysdata" so there's no
obvious place to put it there. You could add a pcibios interface to
retrieve it, I suppose, but I'm starting to get uncomfortable with
adding more of those because we have such a mess of them already.
