The PCIe root ports (and the PCIe downstream ports) are there already
even without "authorization".

There is a way to figure out the "tunneled" PCIe ports by looking at
certain properties and we do that already actually. The BIOS has the
following under these ports:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/pci/dsd-for-pcie-root-ports#identifying-externally-exposed-pcie-root-ports

and the ports will have dev->external_facing set to 1. Perhaps looking
at that field helps here?
