No, that's not what I'm trying to say.  You can access the
configuration registers if you need to.  But you shouldn't need a
struct pci_bus to do that.  All you do with the struct pci_bus is get
the corresponding struct iproc_pcie.

It will require some restructuring, of course, e.g., making low-level
accessors that take the struct iproc_pcie, and wrappers around them
that take a struct pci_bus.  The usual config accesses can go through
the wrapper, and the iproc-internal accesses can use the low-level
accessors directly.
