I don't know what to do with this patch yet.  Here's what I think
happens with this patch applied, in a case where we have to do some
retries:

    pcie_flr
      pci_write_config_word(dev, PCI_EXP_DEVCTL)  /* start FLR */
      msleep(100)
    ...
    pci_restore_state
      pci_read_config_dword(dev, 0x28)  /* CardBus CIS pointer */
      pci_write_config_dword(dev, 0x28)
      pci_read_config_dword(dev, 0x30)  /* Subsystem ID/vendor ID */
      pci_write_config_dword(dev, 0x30)
      ...
      pci_read_config_dword(dev, 0x10)  /* BAR 0 */
      for (;;) {
        pci_write_config_dword(dev, 0x10, saved_val)
        pci_read_config_dword(dev, 0x10, &val)
        if (val == saved_val)
          break;
      }

1) What happens if another code path reads or writes config space
before pci_restore_path()?  As far as I can tell, it fails silently.

2) Apparently (per Don), config access to a device in the middle of
FLR can cause AER.  If that's true, it seems like even this patch
could cause an AER, and the only possible thing is to rely on a delay
in pcie_flr() or temporarily disable AER.

3) If a config space write being accepted is a signal that the FLR is
complete, why don't we first restore a register where we *check*
whether the write is accepted?  The patch restores dwords 10-15 first,
and we don't retry those, so it seems like those updates could be
lost.  In fact, we do lots of other config writes in
pci_restore_pcie_state(), etc., and presumably all those could be
being dropped.

4) Why doesn't pcie_flr() do anything with the Completion Timeout
(PCIe spec r3.0, sec 6.6.2)?  It seems like using this could cause us
to wait longer than the current 100ms in pcie_flr().

5) If we're not retrying, it seems pointless to even read the register
first.  A nit, I know.

I don't feel comfortable that we understand the real problem here, so
I'm reluctant to apply the patch.  Obviously I know little about FLR
and the restore path, so possibly I just need to be educated :)
