My concern with defining it as NULL is that somebody may end up
calling it in the future directly and that may end up causing issues.
One thought I have been debating is moving it to a different file. I
am just not sure where the best place to put something like this would
be. I could move this function to drivers/pci/pci.c if everyone is
okay with it and then I could just strip the contents out by wrapping
them in a #ifdef instead.
