Hi Sharyathi,

The patch that I already have queued is attached:

         - Fix the error message for the "dev -p" comand when run on 2.6.26
           or later kernels, which no longer have the global "pci_devices"
           list head.  The patch changes the message to show "dev: -p option
           not supported or applicable on this architecture or kernel", instead
           of the misleading "dev: no PCI devices found on this system" message.
           (anderson at redhat.com)

Thanks,
  Dave
