 Hiten,
 
 This isn't bad, but we have a slight problem :(
 
 This really isn't the a problem with pciconf(8) and non-root users,
 its actually the fact that non-root users do not (and should not)
 have write access to /dev/pci.  Something like (without mdoc(7)):
 
 pciconf(8) is limited to users with write access to /dev/pci, usually
 root.
 
 We get that taken care of, I see no reason why NOT to commit this
 patch and close this PR.  What do you think?
