In the first version I had 2 functions also. The patch have had lots
of duplicate code or inline functions. Since the conditional check is
already in raw_pci_* I decided to not implement an additional check
and use only one function.

int raw_pci_read(unsigned int domain, unsigned int bus, unsigned int devfn,
                                                int reg, int len, u32 *val)
{
	if (reg < 256 && raw_pci_ops)
	   return raw_pci_ops->read(domain, bus, devfn, reg, len, val);
	   if (raw_pci_ext_ops)
	      return raw_pci_ext_ops->read(domain, bus, devfn, reg, len, val);
	      return -EINVAL;
}

That leaves as a difference to the basic access is the shift left of
bits 8:11 in the PCI_CONF1_ADDRESS macro. Functional the new macro is
the same and the overhead for this is small. So I see keeping all code
in one function as the best solution.

An alternative implementation would be here to use a check something
like pci_probe & PCI_HAS_EXT_CFG. If needed, I will send an updated
patch.
