Raspbian Pi OS (Debian 10 Buster), Pi does NOT have PCI bus, SNMPD still reports attempt to query PCI bus

Raspbian Pi OS (Debian 10 Buster), Pi does NOT have PCI bus, SNMPD still reports attempt to query PCI bus. Please fix this. A few web sites state this bug was fixed in 5.7.3. It is NOT fixed.

Net-SNMP version v5.7.3 is no longer maintained. The actively maintained branches are the v5.9 and master branches. Please retest with one of these two branches.

Yup, I have tested 5.9, it addresses the issue. However, 5.9 is not packaged for Raspberry Pi OS (ARMHF) Buster 10. So anyone that wants to avoid the errors of Net-SNMP trying to query the PCIe bus... which does not exist on Pi devices, will have to download and compile 5.9 from source. Thanks for being responsive to issues posted.

I'm not sure how the referenced patch solved this, it seems to do the opposite. I.e. not init PCI on systems with PCI, and still fail to init PCI on systems without it.

Commit ea6c54f should fix the PCI test.
