Well, we can generally print something like that from pci_acpi_setup().

What about the below?  Wouldn't it generate too much output on some systems?

Yeah, that probably would generate an awful lot of output.  I was just
hoping to avoid treating ACPI pathnames as first-class objects.  What
do you think about a %p extension?  I played with that once, but I
seem to have lost the patch.

That's perfect.  If we had a struct device, we could just use
dev_info() for these messages.  But I have no idea how hard it would
be to get at the struct device.

Well, it may be worth doing.  However, that information is readily available from
sysfs anyway, you only need to follow the firmware_node link in the PCI device's
sysfs directory and read the path attribute from there.  For example, on my
system:

$ cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:0b:00.0/firmware_node/path
\_SB_.PCI0.RP05.PXSX
