I've dropped the bus->self thing in v2. Seems bus->self is explicitly
unset for root bridges. There's remnants in the pci code that used to
check bus->self to see if the bridge is the root bridge.

I tried setting bus->self with the pci device of the root bridge but
that just caused my machine not to boot and I didn't dig any further.
