I see

All the x86 examples are pci_raw_ops though, not pci_ops.

These implement the interface that is expected to be used.

and this is pci_vpd_ops, not pci_ops

These are indeed some that I missed, but there are only very few of them.

Maybe we can simply change them to use the normal API and come up with
a way to make the pci_ops harder to misuse? Would it make you feel better
if we also renamed .read/.write into .read_type0/.write_type0 or something
like that?

Fixed, thanks for noticing.
