Please wrap your changelog at 72 columns.

Can you handle potentially unaligned accesses like this?  Is there some
lock preventing you from using this structure more than once at the same
time?

As you only use this in one spot, why not just allocate it here and then
free it?  Why add it to the pcibus device structure?
