Daniel Samson 81dd1e9318 pci: the host bridge arrives by delegation too
pci-bus joins usb-xhci-bus in receiving its device from the manager rather
than claiming the id it found in argv[1]. Its hello moves ahead of the ECAM
mapping, since that is where the bridge now arrives, and its hello was
already mandatory so nothing about its failure behaviour changes.

isDelegated compared whole strings, which silently missed this driver: the
manager records the boot-snapshot match as the bare "pci-bus" and a
devices.csv match as the full "/system/drivers/pci-bus". pci-bus was then
neither claiming nor delegated and died on "ECAM mmio_map failed". It now
matches on the last path component. Reintroducing the whole-string compare
breaks usb-xhci-bus instead of pci-bus — the two spellings swap which driver
loses — so usb-hid is the case that catches it, not pci-scan.

pci-scan asserts the delegation on the initial bring-up AND after the
restart drill, with the device id backreferenced so both must name the same
device. That is what proves the manager re-takes a device when its driver
dies and hands it to the replacement, which is the property the whole
supervision design rests on.

The remaining three claimants are NOT converted, and the plan records why
rather than working around it. ps2-bus and the acpi service never hello at
all, which device-manager.md states deliberately ("legacy drivers ... not
yet required to hello"), so delegating to them means either promoting them
out of legacy or giving the grant a delivery point that is not hello.
virtio-gpu hellos best-effort by design — "standalone bring-up has no
manager" — and delegation would make it mandatory. Both are decisions, not
mechanical steps.

Consequence: D6 is blocked, because device_claim cannot be closed off while
three claimants still depend on it. D7-D9 are unaffected — they concern what
the kernel stores and how its table is sized.
