This is quite similar to pci_device_is_present().  Does that not do
what you need?

I'm not a big fan of either pci_device_is_present() or
pci_dev_is_alive() because they are racy.  You must assume that even
if they return "true," the device may disappear because of a surprise
removal before you can act on that information.
