Hmm, I'd like to keep it short. the struct is private in file after all.
Longer name will not let me init variables of this type on the same
line.  generic_dev is enough to make grep/find in file happy?

I still expect it to be noticeable ...

Good point.

Nope, why should it? If the device deasserts interrupt, the bridge
does not care about the reason.

Good point. Although I am not sure why might irq be 0,
but from code this seems possible.

The reason I put it here, is because with userspace driver the device
might be left in a very strange state if you kill the driver abruptly.
With uio I don't currently get notification on open (which would be
ideal) so user will have to unbind/rebind to reset the device.
And btw, an unfortunate side affect that I didn't realise
is that this actually is restricted to PCI express devices.

So, what I think I will do is add a patch in pci-sysfs.c with a sysfs
entry that resets the device. Should be pretty useful generally.
Makes sense?
