Something like pci_bus_sem locks all the buses, which may pose a big
overhead. So it doesn't seem like an ideal solution. A better approach
is to lock only one parent to protect only a sub-tree. At least that's
what I've seen in some other operating systems dealing with PCI
hotplug. But that requires a significant amount of change.
