I also don't see anywhere that says CRS is limited to only 1 second. It
looks to me that the spec allows a device to return CRS for as long as it
takes to complete initialization.

>From PCIe Base Spec, Section 2.3.1 CRS Implementation note:

  A device in receipt of a Configuration Request following a valid reset
  condition may respond with a CRS Completion Status to terminate the
  Request, and thus effectively stall the Configuration Request until
  such time that the subsystem has completed local initialization and
  is ready to communicate with the host.

No time limit specified here, or anywhere else for that matter AFAICT.
Where is 1 second requirement coming from?
