The head number is simply the same as the PCI function
number ;-)

I could try to add code to sort the chip according to the
function number, but that code would only be useful for
multi-head boards on some weirds mobo/kernel combinations...

Would that really be useful ? And that would only
sort heads on a board, not boards, as you can't guess
which PCI bus/device should be the first head...
Thinking of it, one could even build a board with
the first head on the highest-number function...

Honestly, if the 'pciid' trick works for you, I don't
think I'll add the sorting. It would be better to 'fix'
pci_find_device to get reliable/consistent behavior IMHO.
