The current code is enumerating devices based on bus, device and function
pairs. This does not work well for architectures with multiple PCI
segments/domains. Multiple PCI devices will have the same BDF value but
different segment numbers (01:01:01.0 and 02:01:01.0) for instance.

Adding segment numbers to device naming so that we can uniquely identify
devices.

I ran into this yes. There is a small risk of breaking some application that
assumed something about names though.
