Yeah, I think this makes sense.  I forgot that the pci_bus has a list of
all child buses, and the virtual buses *are* on that list.  It's just that
there's no bridge pci_dev where dev->subordinate is the virtual bus, so if
we iterate over the bus->devices list as pci_walk_bus() does, we won't find
a bridge leading to the virtual bus.

But it seems like we could use pci_walk_vbus() as you implemented it here
for both purposes, i.e., we could just change pci_walk_bus() to work this
way.  Would that break anything?  It'd be nicer to just have one "walk bus"
interface, especially since these differ in a pretty subtle way.

I don't really want to elevate the "virtual bus" idea, i.e., the idea that
we have a bus that is not the secondary bus of a bridge, to a first-class
PCI citizen.  It seems like a wart that I'd like to get rid of if we had a
way to do it.

I'm curious about what Windows does for this situation.  I have a dim
memory that it creates some kind of virtual bridge device leading to a bus
like this.  But I have no reference, and maybe I just made that up.
