(yes, it's sparc, it's an uncomitted port to microSPARC-IIep
with on-board PCI controller)
>Description:
pcictl(8) uses opendisk(3) to open the /dev/pci* device and passes
iscooked = 1 to avoid prepending of the 'r' prefix to the device name.
opendisk(3) was recently changed (rev 1.8 of basesrc/lib/libutil/opendisk.c)
to check that the device opened with iscooked=1 is a block device.
This change breaks pcictl(8) since /dev/pci* are character devices.

>How-To-Repeat:
Run

  $ pcictl pci0 list
  pcictl: pci0: Operation not supported by device

on a -curent with rev 1.8 of opendisk.c

>Fix:
pcictl(8) shouldn't (ab)use opendisk(3) to open the device.
