As people may have noticed, I've been working on a cleanup of parts of 
our PCI subsystem.  The next round of changes are ready for review.

In summary, the changes:

 - Break out our bridge support into separate PCI:PCI, PCI:EISA and 
   PCI:ISA modules.
 - Move all PCI core code into sys/dev/pci.
 - Add interrupt routing support for the Alpha platform.
 - Remove description strings for PCI infrastructure components from
   the PCI code.  (pciconf now has a better database).

A diff against -current is at http://people.freebsd.org/~msmith/pci.diff,
comments are very much welcome.

Note in particular for the Alpha folks - support is not yet in place for 
PCI:PCI bridges with nonstandard interrupt routing, I think I know how to 
do this fairly cleanly though (but I only just realised it was a problem, 
whoops).
