Userspace comes up early, but builtin drivers will bind before init is
started. e.g.

Building everything into the kernel is admittedly pretty niche. I only
do it to avoid re-building the initramfs for my test kernels. It does
seem relatively common on embedded systems, but I'm not sure how many
of those care about PCIe. It would be nice to provide *something* to
cover that case for the people who care.
