Why is start_found not a boolean?

Do you really need start_found at all? Why not just reuse existing
pointer?

	FOREACH_DEVICE_ON_PCIBUS(dev) {
		if (start) {
			if (&dev->device == start)
				start = NULL
			continue;
		}
		if (cmp(&dev->device, data) == 0)
			return &dev->device;
	}
	return NULL;
}
