I actually think some x86's have done the same thing, however the
firmware hides all that from the OS and the OS just sees a normal PCI
environment. So if we can't hide the mess in firmware, the next best
place is in drivers?

PCI ordering has been a bane in the past on x86, so I think stable
domain numbers is certainly desirable. Particularly since the domain
number may be influenced by module load order :( Alises followed by
sorting by phandle sounds great to me.
