You ought to be able to surf through a virtual-directory tree, perhaps /proc, to find the information that you need, without writing a driver just to obtain configuration information about the system. Therefore, perhaps I do not fully understand your question. Can you please briefly describe what existing PCI driver source-code you have already investigated, and what specific piece of logic you need help with?

Hey, pal, back in the day, I did my homework myself! (And graduated with highest honors, so there!)

The entire point of education is that you dig for the answers and that in so doing you not only learn those answers but also learn how to find them. For yourself. If you're not willing to do that, then you're wasting your time and perhaps a considerable amount of money, and no one, anywhere in the world, wants to hire a lazy programmer.
