An MMIO read from a PCI device that doesn't exist or doesn't respond causes a PCI error. There's no real data to return to satisfy the CPU read, so most hardware fabricates ~0 data. Add a PCI_ERROR_RESPONSE definition for that and use it where appropriate to make these checks consistent and easier to find. Also add helper definitions SET_PCI_ERROR_RESPONSE and RESPONSE_IS_PCI_ERROR to make the code more readable.
