Hi Alex-san,

Here is one comment, though I have not finished reviewing/testing
your patches yet (sorry for the delay).

The pci_get_pci_slot() function refers pci_bus->slots list, so it
should be called with pci_bus_sem semaphore held as pci_create_slot()
does, or pci_bus_sem semaphore should be held by pci_get_pci_slot()
itself.
