The only real way to do it is to inline pci_get_slot() into tg3.  Since I
also have a need for it in sym2, that doesn't seem like a sensible idea.
It would also be racy since it wouldn't take the pci_bus_lock.

Ok, fair enough.  I'll add it to my tree to be sent to Linus after 2.6.0
is out, if Jeff and David agree it's an ok tg3.c patch.

I'm OK with it... I guess we'll be shipping tg3 and sym2 known-broken on PCI domain boxes?

Admittedly it's an uncommon case for tg3...
