Aah, this is the bigger reason why you want a general "is VMD" thing.
But this is still basically x86-specific code (I do see the ia64 in
Kconfig, so I guess maybe ia64 as well).

But pci_bus_is_vmd() doesn't feel like a generally useful concept.  I
see why you need things like this quirk, but it's not clear what
useful things other code could do with pci_bus_is_vmd() because we
don't have a generic concept of how VMD buses are different than other
PCI buses.
