Ok, I see your point.
I don't think we have devices without PCI core.
BUT:
If you think there are devices without a PCI core, you
must not switch to it in the first place. So your check is
worthless nevertheless, because in case of no PCI core you
have crashed much earlier anyway. ;)

If we have a PCI core (and I think we always have), it can only
be PCI or PCIE.
