I don't have an opinion on the way you implement the config space
accessors, but it seems that the overall amount of code is comparable
to the normal pci-host-generic driver without this, and it is not
really generic at all.

I think because of this, it makes more sense to have a separate top-level
driver for this and not reuse the pci-host-generic implementation here.
