This says it's a resend, but I don't see a previous posting; maybe it was
HTML and rejected by the mailing list?

I assume the problem is actually that the config space registers are
inaccessible when the device is in D3hot?

I think config space access is supposed to work when a device is in D3hot
(see PCIe r4.0, sec 5.3.1.4).

If it doesn't work, wouldn't that mean that we couldn't even bring the
device *out* of D3hot, since that requires a config write?

If this is really the problem, it'd be nice to identify this specifically
instead of piggy-backing on the "is_hotplug_bridge" thing, which might be
coincidentally related, but also carries other meanings.
