Ok. Got it.  I was processing the interrupt for a device after it had
been hot removed but before the device state had disappeared.

pcie_isr looks like it would be even worse in that situation.  Looping forever
if pciehp_readw(ctrl, PCIE_EXPSLTA) always succeed sand returns 0xffff.

That loop in there appears impossibly misguided.  If the pending interrupt
values change after you have received the interrupt another instance
of the same interrupt should be pending so the loop should be completely
unnecessary.
