It would be nice to have just one backend type, with relevant bits of its
code made arch-specific. I'm sure x86 doesn't need vpci, passthru *and*
slot.

This is probably fine for now; it doesn't preclude merging or dropping other
backends down the line. Only thing I spotted is that you make an enormous
inline function in pcifront.h. That function will have to be moved elsewhere
into a .c file if it's getting that big.
