I would consider this a worthwhile addition to the kernel (and lspci).
It would be nice if lspci could display what driver had claimed a
particular device, and which devices were unclaimed by any driver or
otherwise had an error that prevented initialization.
I don't have enough experience to gauge how invasive this would be, but
I'd be happy to contribute towards it if practical.
Cheers,
Dan
