Yes. Cardbus does it all the time. However, there's no pcie hot-plug
support yet, so the process for kicking off configuration of the new
device doesn't happen.

Anytime the device_t tree changes, this gets updated. It is used by
devinfo and friends.

: pci_write_config vs pci_write_config_method
: //////////////
: under the source code /dev/pci .there are functions name pci_write_config (
: pcivar.h) and pci_write_config_method(pci.c)
: they both call the parent method ,though the content is different ,but does
: that a liitle overlap whit each other?
pci_write_config is the user's interface. This gets translated into a
series of calls up the tree using pci_write_config_method to find the
right place in the tree to actually write to the configuration
registers.
