This is true of a lot of devices on most "PCI" chipsets today. Even back
to things like the VIA K6 era chipsets with the V-Bus, or the
MediaGX/Geode where some of PCI space is a hallucination brought on by
SMM traps and BIOS upgrades have been known to add devices to the bus
which are not even neatly on their own sub-tree of any kind. Indeed some
PCI devices may be half PCI half magic.

That may not be wise. Your real bus heirarchy may not be architecturally
defined on some systems so you can't incorporate it into code, nor is it
necessarily a heirarchy - eg some of the Geodes.
