... this doesn't seem to work, no? The files in /sys/bus/pci/devices are
actually soft-links and are not counted by stat, am I wrong? At least on
my setup with a PCI device and populated sysfs it will still skip the
check.
Bummer. Stupid thinko. And I don't have a real PCI card for testing
here, so I did not notice. So I guess I have to use opendir() +
readdir() instead to find out if there are entries in this directory?
