The main issue is making sure we get the cooked value of vendor and
device id (they are invalid in config space for VFs).  I looked at
this before (w/ the same intention) and concluded it wasn't a benefit
(of course, I can't recall why now...re-reading libpci, as long as we
force PCI_ACCESS_SYS_BUS_PCI it does the right read).

Anyway, this is a simple, nice cleanup.
