I see.  pci_bus_type.p is initialized by __bus_register() in this path:

  pci_driver_init        # postcore_initcall
    bus_register(&pci_bus_type)
      __bus_register
        priv = kzalloc(sizeof(struct subsys_private))
	bus->p = priv
	klist_init(&priv->klist_devices, klist_devices_get, klist_devices_put)

I was hoping we could statically initialize the klist, but that doesn't
seem likely.

But I wonder if we could do something like the following.  If we could,
then callers wouldn't have to worry about whether or not the bus has been
initialized.
