The flip: PCI enumeration leaves the kernel (M19.3)

enumeratePci, addBars, pciConfigurationPtr, and the PciHeader struct are
deleted; the kernel seeds only the host bridge, and the ring-3 pci-bus
driver's reports are the sole source of PCI function nodes. The manager
matches PCI drivers from reported identity, deduped by registered device
id so a bus restart never double-spawns.

The flip did its job by exposing a latent SMP race: ring-3
device_register made the broker table concurrent for the first time, and
mmio_map read it lock-free — under load a torn resource length mapped
hpet's window wrong (its user fault) and underflowed r.len-1 into a
kernel integer-overflow panic. Fixed: the broker read in mmio_map (and
claim) runs under the big kernel lock, the arithmetic rejects
zero-length and wrapping windows cleanly, and pci-bus no longer registers
unimplemented size-0 BARs. driver-restart hammered 6x, suite 55/55.

## Update (M19.3, 2026-07-13): PCI enumeration left the kernel
The kernel now seeds only the `pci_host_bridge` node (ECAM window, MMIO
apertures derived from the memory map's holes, bus range, and the 16-bit I/O
window). The per-function walk moved to the ring-3 `pci-bus` driver
([device-manager.md](device-manager.md)): it claims the bridge, repeats the
ECAM scan through its mmio grant, and `device_register`s what it finds, which
the device manager mirrors and matches. The ACPI namespace walk follows in M20;
the static tables (MADT, HPET, MCFG, FADT + `\\_S5`) stay kernel-side.
