Bjorn, this against mainline, not your tree where I see you already have
"PCI: Make cfg_access_lock lockdep key a singleton" queued up. The
"overkill" justification for making it singleton is valid, but then
means that it has all the same problems as the device lock that needs to
be marked lockdep_set_novalidate_class().

Let me know if you want this rebased on your for-linus branch.

Note that the pci_warn_once() will trigger on all pci_bus_reset() users
unless / until pci_bus_lock() additionally locks the bridge itself ala:

Apologies for the thrash, this has been a useful exercise for finding
some of these gaps, but ultimately not possible to carry forward
without more invasive changes.
