The check of:

No, it would also need to check pci_domain_nr(dev->bus) .. and it doesn't
have anything to check it against as that information isn't passed into
the function.
Anyway, is there any other way you can fix this in the tg3 driver only
for right now?  I agree adding the pci function is "cleaner", but a bit
late for right now.
The only real way to do it is to inline pci_get_slot() into tg3.  Since I
also have a need for it in sym2, that doesn't seem like a sensible idea.
It would also be racy since it wouldn't take the pci_bus_lock.
How does this differ from pci_find_slot()?  (becides the pci_dev_get()
call)?  pci_find_slot() asks for the bus number, which can be determined
from the pci_bus structure, right?
The pci_bus knows which domain it's in.  We don't have to check it since
we only walk its children.
