problem in pciFindStubDriver

[Chunyan Liu <cyliu@xxxxxxxx>]

For Xen PV guests, pciback is the only working driver, pci-stub
doesn't work. Current function finds pci-stub driver first, if
pci-stub doesn't exist, find pciback. It won't work for Xen PV guests
since it will find pci-stub driver and return, but in fact it needs
pciback.

One way is to prefer pciback rather than pci-stub like in following
patch. But that will change the behaviour of other drivers too. Is
there any preferred aprroach to handle this?
