PCI: Add DMA alias iterator

In a mixed PCI/PCI-X/PCIe topology, bridges can take ownership of
transactions, replacing the original requester ID with their own.
Sometimes we just want to know the resulting device or resulting alias;
other times we want each step in the chain.  This iterator allows either
usage.  When an endpoint is connected via an unbroken chain of PCIe
switches and root ports, it has no alias and its requester ID is visible to
the root bus.  When PCI/X get in the way, we pick up aliases for bridges.

The reason why we potentially care about each step in the path is because
of PCI-X.  PCI-X has the concept of a requester ID, but bridges may or may
not take ownership of various types of transactions.  We therefore leave it
to the consumer of this function to prune out what they don't care about
rather than attempt to flatten the alias ourselves.
