Hah, thanks.  That is useful and very new :)  I built a newer lspci and 
I see it is now displayed with the -k option.

I agree however that the opportunity for more status would be good.  And 
status is a better name than "broken".  This way it is easy to scan all 
devices on the system via sysfs and easily visualize via lspci or some 
other tool:

1) Unclaimed devices

2) Devices that aren't working properly - and why (please something more 
than "This device is not working properly" :)

3) Devices that are claimed and working properly

Cheers,
Dan
