I don't want a dummy root bus.

There should be some way to structure that code so you can write the
class code and the link status stuff without having a struct pci_bus.
The only reason you need the struct pci_bus in the first place is so
you can extract the struct iproc_pcie *, and you already have that in
iproc_pcie_check_link().

No, you won't be able to use pci_bus_find_capability(), but presumably
you already *know* where the capability is, since you know exactly
what device this is.
