With my patch I get this with a simple PCIDEVS=`pcictl list`But it breaks backward compat, this could easily be fixed by using a command line flag for the new behavior.
I'm "just a user", but I don't see why you would have to break compatibility at all. Is there some ambiguity I can't see that would rear its head if the syntax was just expanded to include both "new" and "old" styles?
(As far as I can see, the pcibus argument has to come before any command or options, so you could just fall through to newstyle if it's not found.)
i.e: pcictl pci0 list -> old: list all on pci0 pcictl [BLANK] list -> new: list all on all pcictl [BLANK] list -b 1 -> new: list all on pci1 MAgnus
