Well, no, I'd like to only have the pci hotplug drivers use them if
possible. So until we have proper namespaces on the exported symbols,
I'd really like to keep these as-is if possible.

Or are you needing these symbols for some code outside of the
drivers/pci/ directory tree?

I need pci_bus_find_capability() in arch/powerpc pci code.

I'm using it as a way to tell if we are a PCIe PHB.
