Sure, absolutely.

Right.

The PXB bus class (TYPE_PXB_BUS) is derived from TYPE_PCI_BUS, which has
its own "child-formatter" callback: pcibus_get_fw_dev_path().

One can override that member in a derived class, but that's not useful,
for two reason:
- it's already too far from the qtree root (ie. past the node where the
  needed info is available), like you said; and
- pcibus_get_fw_dev_path() is *correct* in the way it formats its
  children's addresses.

Namely, pcibus_get_fw_dev_path() takes credit for formatting the

  address@hidden

node, which is just right, because the bridge is in slot 0 of the parent
TYPE_PXB_HOST. We should not change that; the current method mirrors the
counterpart UEFI device paths precisely.

Thanks for the feedback, if Markus and Michael are otherwise okay with
this patch, I'll replace "pxbhost" with "pci-root".

Thanks!
