I don't think entirely modular PCI root bridges should be a focal point
for the design.  If we happen to support them by other design choices:
fine, but they should not be a priority.

That being said if we have core dma mapping or PCIe code that has
a list of offsets and the root complex only populates them it should
work just fine.
