That was just an example what should I *not *do, of course I'm not going to
do that (although from cosmetic point of view -- it would be much nicer to
have the pci struct next to bios/gemdos one...)

Isn't that even worse than just calling the traps directly? In both cases
(custom traps or cookies) I have to include a not exactly short list of
function declarations
<https://github.com/mikrosk/freemint/blob/rtl8139/sys/sockets/xif/rtl8139.c#L249>.
Now imagine there would be two PCI network drivers... and these very
declarations are already visible for all kernel modules, so it would make
sense, at least for time being, to make them available to XIFs as well to
avoid repeating the same defines over and over again.
