That would be ideal; it would also imply that the current PCI support 
code in the X server tree be refactored into a semi-arch independent PCI 
layer (as it is now) which either implements PCI support for platforms 
that don't do it, or wraps platform libraries as in the case of 
libpci.a.  Unfortunately, that's a good sized chunk of work given the 
current state of the X server PCI code...
