Hi Ben.

Possibly but it may cause issues since many hostbridge have BARs
that don't comply with the PCI spec which may get hosed when scanning
the PCI bus.  Maybe fixups/quirks/whatever will help but I'm not sure
that's any cleaner.  TBH, I'm not familiar enough with the PCI subsystem
to answer this intelligently.
