How about the following?

The change set of 525e05147d5a3bdc08caa422d108c1ef71b584b5
wrongly assumes that pci host bridge class device has
header type of pci-pci bridge. But this isn't true. In fact i440fx
pci host bridge has header type of normal device.
Header type should be checked, instead of device class.

The change set's purpose is to show PBM pci host bridge
info which doesn't conform to PCI specification.
So introduce get_info_quirk callback and use it for PBM.

Ok. I'll respin the patch with get_info_quirk.
