This feels very scary. We're now assuming that the domain number will
always be presented to the doorbell. What guarantee do we have that
this is always the case, irrespective of the platform?

Also, domains have no PCI reality, they are a Linux thing. And they can
be "randomly" assigned, unless you force the domain in DT with a
linux,pci-domain property. This looks even more wrong, specially
considering ACPI.

It really feels like we need a way to describe how the BDF numbering is
augmented. We also need to guarantee that we get the actual bridge
number, as opposed to the domain number.

Thoughts?
