Missed that they weren't exported when I moved from pci-acpi to nvme as
it worked with my config. But looking again I see there's already an
acpi_bus_get_device() that's exported and should work here.
Unfortunately, it would be the only function that's not stubbed out so
per Cristoph's later comment, this will need a CONFIG_ACPI wrapper.
