Ok.

There are a few things to note: in trans/remap.c, 

  /* FIXME: should match just prefix of filename too */

So indeed, when servers/bus/pci/ gets opened, it's not getting remapped.
Feel free to fix the FIXME :)

Also, in pciutils' hurd_detect, 

  lstat (_SERVERS_BUS_PCI, &st);
  ...
  return S_ISDIR (st.st_mode) && ((st.st_mode & S_ITRANS) == S_IROOT);

so the remapped node has to be a translated directory, and can't be a
symlink. I would say that pciutils should be made to use stat instead of
lstat, symlinks are useful.
