[Crash-utility] dev -p command fails post linux 2.6.25

[Sharyathi Nagesh]

Hi Dave
  As you may be aware dev -p command post linux kernel 2.6.25 fails with
"no PCI devices found on this system.". When I went through the kernel
a specific commit has removed pci_devices variable from the kernel code

==================================================================
git commit: 5ff580c10ec06fd296bd23d4570c1a95194094a0
by Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh at suse.de>


This is what he says in the commit
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   This patch finally removes the global list of PCI devices.  We are
    relying entirely on the list held in the driver core now, and do not
    need a separate "shadow" list as no one uses it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I saw some of your earlier postings where you have specifically
mentioned about this problem:

With this I wanted to know, if you intend to keep dev -p behavior as it
is now or
there is any plan to change it to display actual values?

Thank You
