Bjorn,David,

Looks like the following thread answers some of the questions about when
this uapi export was done on the existing defines.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/28/198 

Sounds like the concern is that the older defines PCI_DEVFN, PCI_SLOT,
PCI_FUNC,  and PCI_DEVID could be exported, but not the new ones I
added. I could find any discussion on whether these four older defines
are exportable or the reasons for the export in the above thread.

So the question is if uapi/linux.pci.h isn't the right place, do you
have a recommendation on where they belong. The only alternative I can
think of is include/linux/pci.h. It makes functional and logical sense
to add the new defines to where the existing ones are defines. At least,
not knowing the details of the change that moved PCI_DEVFN etc. to
uapi/pci.h, that is my conclusion.
