I am trying to find a solution to a Linux PCI rescan problem.

I have an Altera FPGA PCIe protoboard I am trying to test in a TYAN
FT77A-B7059.
We are trying to solve some hotplug/FPGA reload issues; when we reload
the FPGA the PCI interface reloads confusing linux pci code.
After bootup the board is seen by the kernel; lscpi shows Altera FPGA
PCIe protoboard settings and config space. We can load our driver and
all is well.
When we reload the FPGA lscpi display shows all "ff" for config space. As
Are you saying all values in the config space are 0xff? If yes, this
mean the vendor/device ids are invalid, so I'm just curious how OS
identify this device, and you really can see that with lspci?

root I tried
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan
But no change to lspci output.
I tried some variants
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:8a:00.0/rescan
no change to lspci output.
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:8a:00.0/remove
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan
This removed the device and it did not show up again in lscpi.
Kernel has PCI HOTPLUG enabled:
[jbaker@server0 ~]$ cat /boot/config-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 | grep
HOTPLUG
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y

CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI_IBM=m
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_CPCI is not set

[jbaker@server0 ~]$
The kernel has pciehp module loaded, I see pciehp messages in
/var/log/messages.
In other distros, on other platforms, echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan has
worked but does not appear to work here for CentOS 6.5 on this hardware.
This problem is much discussed on the web but I have yet to see a
solution discussed. I am thinking the 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64 kernel
may require a patch(es). The rescan may not be resetting the PCIe card?
Any ideas how to get rescan to work?
Thank you,
