Maybe this is a tangent, but I'm curious about this topology.  Is this
running as a virtualized guest?  At the hardware level, a PCIe
endpoint must have a Root Port somewhere, even if it isn't visible to
the OS (as is often the case in virtualized guests).

I think pci_upstream_bridge() would be better here.  Not that this
device will be a VF (where pci_upstream_bridge() makes a difference),
but just to be a little more generic.
