I would consider this a worthwhile addition to the kernel (and lspci). It would be nice if lspci could display what driver had claimed a particular device, and which devices were unclaimed by any driver or otherwise had an error that prevented initialization. I don't have enough experience to gauge how invasive this would be, but I'd be happy to contribute towards it if practical.
