That was actually my idea. I'm thinking of moving clp_get_state(),
clp_scan_pci_devices(), ans clp_refresh_fh() to pci.c too because I
feel these deal with higher level concerns than the rest of pci_clp.c.

I have no strong opinion though and might be thinking ahead to much
here. With the change discussed in the other mail of not modifying
clp_list_pci() maybe it would be better to keep it here and thus this
patch more focused and minimal and then possibly move it with the other
similar functions.
