All the same submit your patches when they work and they can be
generalised later. It's probably the case the pci.c should not be
deciding which NIC to use, and should return the list for config.c to
deal with. This can be done without breaking any code, pci.c returns
results using a pointer to a structure, it just needs to be a pointer to
an array for multiple NICs.
