I feel like that's going in the exact opposite direction from what Greg
was looking for... I think the point is to hide less of where the device
is coming from, not to create a new and different macro that hides
things in a different way.

Or, more likely, I _think_ Greg would suggest that this is showing that
the driver model isn't really being used properly. Perhaps, we should be
printing against the ntb struct device instead of the pci device so
there is no dereferencing.
