You're not missing anything, I just screwed up. What I was really
*hoping* to do was just put a bit in the pci_dev, but of course, these
functions don't have a pci_dev. 256 bits in the bus seems like a
little overkill though. Maybe we just give up on the exact device and
warn only once per *bus* instead of once per device.
