It should work on Pegasos2, try it and see.. as far as I know it has a fair
clue of what card you WANT to access because of the basic topology of the
system.

Should in RTAS too (there is only one card on domain 0) but, I wouldn't
rely on this magic for other CHRP systems. Linux just scans the PCI bus
directly using the host controller offsets.. but, that should be a last
resort.
