Hello,
You can enable this in the kernel-configuration:
Bus options (PCI, PCMCIA, EISA, MCA, ISA) --->
[ ] Legacy /proc/pci interface.

This might be interesting, help-description for /proc/pci:
This feature enables a procfs file -- /proc/pci -- that provides a
summary of PCI devices in the system.
This feature has been deprecated as of v2.5.53, in favor of using the tool lspci. This feature may be removed at a future date.
lspci can provide the same data, as well as much more. lspci is a part of the pci-utils package, which should be installed by your distribution. See Documentation/Changes for information on where to get the latest version.
