They're available and usable by drivers, now, via the
config-space-read functions.

As noted in my original mail, i don't think they should be provided in
the standard attach args, though, because:

	(1) most devices don't care about them

	(2) they're relatively hard to dig out (different places for
	    different header types), and

	(3) not all header types even provide them.
