This is not really related to this patch but the plan is the following:
- enumeration would have to be done by the firmware or boot loader before
- xen will have some code to detect PCI devices
- dom0less can be used to assign PCI devices to guest

Anyway does not change the fact that this must be called when domain is not 
NULL and I will fix that.

Yes and I will remove it as it only impacts x86 right now.
If this is needed, we will have to do it while adding MSI support on Arm.
