Unfortunately, for pciconf(8) the function is already optional
so pci1:2:3 would be ambiguous.
Originally my plan was to strip the 'pci' for strings specifing
a location including a domain and keep the pcib:s:f format for
backwards compatibility, but John was against this as he wants
the format to be uniform with the strings used for a hints
feature he is working on and which in turn relies on the 'pci'
part.
