At the highest level, PCI devices themselves are named, according to
their bus, slot and function in the system hierachy.
PCI storage devices are listed in the scsi_host class with a device sym-link
to the PCI directories of the devices.

.Bl -tag -width status
.It Pa host
A place holder for storage
.Pa host
information.
.It Pa pci_id
A directory for the
.Pa pci_id
that contains either the device information or another directory structure
