I think having them togeter is cleaner. If you aren't finding any
misc IDs, I highly doubt you'll find any root IDs. There shouldn't
be much of a difference in how fast the function exits, either way.
If you want it the other way though, I don't mind changing it.

Would
/*
* If there are more PCI root devices than data fabric/
* system management network interfaces, then the (N)
* PCI roots per DF/SMN interface are functionally the

*/
be better? I would update the commit msg also.
