It is pretty small.  However, this also works:

docker run centos /bin/sh -c 'yum -y install pciutils; lspci'

Which actually gets into an interesting topic; right now with containers we expose most of the host's /proc - pid namespacing aside, you get pretty much everything else, just read-only for most of it.  So containers see the host's hardware listing, though they still have a filtered /dev by default.
