Right now we don't even have the node stored in the pci_dev structure but
only arch-specific accessor functions/macros. We could change those to
take a struct device instead and make them return -1 for everything non-pci
as we already do in architectures that don't support those helpers. -1
means 'any node' for all common allocators.
