21-pci-init.patch

In case nobody has done this yet, I have modified the pci init code to ditch unneeded functions and data after startup. This is interesting because of the size of the dev_info static array. After system initialization we keep around info only on the devces present on the system.
It seems to have no adverse effects, but keep in mind that this is a first for me ... :) Hope this gives the right ideas to whoever can implement it in a cleaner way.
The patch is against 2.1.35.
