How does this look?

I have introduced a variable pci_is_initiated, which is set after the bus
has been registered.

Should the variable be atomic? My assumption is that initcalls are
synchronous and that the variable therefore cannot be accessed concurrently
by two or more CPUs.

In short, no_pci_devices() should not use bus_find_device() before
initcalls have run, because the pci bus structure has not been
initialized yet.
