I was left with the impression that this wouldn't solve the problem.
If a mem space access is "in flight" on core0 when core1 starts a
config space access, an IPI will not prevent breakage.
Did I misunderstand?
For my education, what is the API to send an IPI?
And the API to handle an IPI?

I actually asked about this on IRC. The consensus was "use what
best fits your use case". I need to do some processing based on
the revision, so I thought
if (chip_x)
do_chip_x_init()
was a good way to express my intent. Did I misunderstand?
For example, the init function for rev2 currently looks like this:
static void rev2_init(struct tango_pcie *pcie, void __iomem *base)
{
void __iomem *misc_irq = base + 0x40;
void __iomem *doorbell = base + 0x8c;
pcie->mux = base + 0x2c;
pcie->msi_status = base + 0x4c;
pcie->msi_mask = base + 0x6c;
pcie->msi_doorbell = 0x80000000;
writel(lower_32_bits(pcie->msi_doorbell), doorbell + 0);
writel(upper_32_bits(pcie->msi_doorbell), doorbell + 4);
/* Enable legacy PCI interrupts */
writel(BIT(15), misc_irq);
writel(0xf << 4, misc_irq + 4);
}

Doh! Very likely. Thanks.
