Insofar as I understand the problem, I think this is clearly
the best approach, as it minimizes coupling. Autoconfigure knows
that what it has learned about the state of the PCI bus is
complete, and therefore that no other PCI devices exist. It does
not need to know what PCI devices are or are not supported at this
moment by the kernel. Allowing it to look inside the kernel rulebase
would promote unnecessary coupling.
