Even having the bus type displayed in the description string, perhaps
in a different text attribute, would be enough.  So you'd see:

bt0	Buslogic SCSI controller [PCI]
bt0	Buslogic SCSI controller [ISA/EISA/VLB]

And *only* if the machine in question even had a PCI bus.  I can't see
any reason to show the PCI entries on my 486/EISA test machine. :-)
