I like the feature, but I have a couple of minor objections to the
implementation:

Please update the help_msg, too.

Please do not modify the hdrtype field, it is private to libpci.

Instead, always read the PCI_HEADER_TYPE register. It will be fast since
lspci caches configuration space accesses.

Beware, cardbus bridges use different registers for secondary and subordinate bus.

... the more I think about it, the more I am convinced that we want to
re-use the bus topology builder from ls-tree.c. I will give it a try,
stay tuned.
