What guarantees that this is ever valid? As far as I know, pci_domain_nr
is completely arbitrary, and depends both on the probe order and the
phase of the moon. If you want this to be reliable, you need to allocate
the domain number from pci_segment_number.

I must be missing something. Care to shed some light on this?
