Not all platforms expose the root bridge in PCI configuration space.
Intel ia64 platforms do have a materialised root bridge; HP's don't.
(I don't know whether Intel ship any PCIe ia64 machines or not).  I
don't remember details for other platforms, but I think Intel is the odd
one out in this regard.
