Please add "()" after function names in subject lines.

This sounds good to me. I agree that I'd prefer not to have a single
bit that applies to both AF FLR and PCIe FLR since they are distinct
mechanisms, discovered and initiated differently.

By "other means of quirking resets," do you mean
PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_BUS_RESET, PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_PM_RESET, and
PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_FLR_RESET?
I agree that a pdev->has_pcie_flr bit would be different from those,
and maybe it's better to stick with PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_FLR_RESET for
now.
In general, I don't like the dual approach of some things being in the
pci_dev_flags enum and others being "unsigned int foo:1" in the struct
pci_dev because I can't tell if there's a reason to choose one over
the other. If there's not a reason to have both, I'd like to migrate
them all to the ":1" approach because it seems a little more readable
to me.
