Summary:                    [patch] Add pci bus info to zaptel span
Description: 
Add into struct zt_span and struct zt_spaninfo the pci bus position of
zaptel card. This feature allow to associate a configuration with a zaptel
card.
If you change the disposition of device or add another card, having the
information where the cards is placed. 

You have one Wildcard TE110P placed into pci bus position 0:c.0
If you add another Wildcard TE110P to pci bus position 0:9.0, the
configuration of first Wildcard is assigned to this second card. With the
info of position of device, you can find the problem and modify
zaptel.conf.

Into patch is added lszt command that show the pci bus info.

USB devices, such as the wcusb, don't have a PCI bus ID. They do have a USB
bus ID.

Furthermore, ztdynamic spans might have totally different ID. ztdummy is a
single system-wide "device".

Hence we're talking here about a "connector" and not a "PCI bus ID".
The xpp driver already reports this on its own (in e.g:
/proc/xpp/xbussesand in the new sysfs interface). zaptel_hardware (from
xpp/utils) already does some guesswork (based on a list of PCI IDs , the
output of lspci and sysfs).

So it would indeed make sense to add a "connector" field to the span.

But instead of creating yet another utility to show it, we need a generic
way to show information about spans. The /proc/zaptel interface is not good
enough because you just can't add fields there.

Hence I suggest sysfs. See the branch zaptel/team/tzafrir/sysfs .
