   We probably don't need any new devices for configuring special
   features of PCI devices, querying type of byte scattering or
   mmaping MMIO -- all such things can be handled via ioctl() on
   /proc/bus/pci files.

I had forgotten that /proc/bus/pci existed in 2.2.x as well (my one
concern was that I wanted to have the same interface for both 2.2.x
and 2.4.x) so yes this is a good idea.
