As requested by Christoph Hellwig I've created a new macro called
for_each_pci_dev. It is a wrapper for this common use of pci_get/find_device:
(while ((dev = pci_get_device(PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, dev)) != NULL))
This macro will return the pci_dev *for all pci devices. Here is the first patch I
used to test this macro with. Compiled and booted on my T23. There will be
53 more patches using this new macro.

Which looks just like the pci_for_each_dev we used to have.
That function got removed due some shortcoming or other that I never
fully understood, but ISTR it had something to do with locking.
(why it couldnt be hidden inside for_each_pci_dev is a mystery to me)
We've had lots of code in the kernel go from this..
pci_for_each_dev(loop_dev) {
to the disgustingly unreadable..
while ((loop_dev = pci_find_device(PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, loop_dev)) != NULL) {
and now its going to ..
for_each_pci_dev(loop_dev) {
So,.. what has all this churn bought us, and where does it end ?
With four words in the function name, we've enough possibilities
for quite a few more iterations yet.

Which did not have any locks at all, and was broken for hotplug systems.

Yeah, blame me for that, but it was race proof for hotplug boxes.

Which is because I didn't think of that in the first place, sorry.

We now have a simple macro to iterate over all pci devices, in a
reference count and lock safe manner.
The next change will be to just delete the thing alltogether, as most
all drivers shouldn't be walking the list of pci devices in the first
place.
Yeah yeah yeah, I know I can't really do that, as there are lots of
places where it is valid to do so, but I can dream...
