If we don't want to just warn when a 8 or 16 bit access occurs (I'm
not sure if 32-bit only accesses is possible or common. Seems like
PCI_COMMAND would always get written?), then a simple way to do this
is just move this out of line and do something like this where the bus
or device is created/registered:

if (bus->ops->write == pci_generic_config_write32)
    warn()

Make this a bitfield next to 'is_added'.
