Yes, there's quite a lot of room for refactoring. When I first started
work on this there had been some discussion about whether it would make
sense to move PCI controller drivers into a common location to make it
easier to refactor but the consensus at the time was that this should
not be done.
I still think this might be worthwhile, but I have other things that I
need to finish first.

"range" is the term used by the PCI specifications to denote these
regions. I don't see what's wrong with using it as a variable name.
