When a PCI device is removed, I don't think we touch any upstream devices. The device is gone; there's no reason to change any bridge windows leading to it. When we rescan, we should try to assign resources to BARs of any new devices we find. Theoretically that could involve configuring windows of upstream bridges, but I don't think we actually do that, because we'd have to be careful not to break any active devices, and I don't think we're smart enough for that.
