Hello Lorenzo! I really do not know how to achieve it. From code it
looks like that pci/probe.c scans child buses unconditionally.

pci-aardvark.c calls pci_host_probe() which calls functions
pci_scan_root_bus_bridge() which calls pci_scan_child_bus() which calls
pci_scan_child_bus_extend() which calls pci_scan_bridge_extend() (bridge
needs to be reconfigured) which then try to probe child bus via
pci_scan_child_bus_extend() because bridge is not card bus.

In function pci_scan_bridge_extend() I do not see a way how to skip
probing for child buses which would avoid enumerating aardvark root
bridge when PCIe device is not connected.

dmesg output contains:
