Alan Cox knows more about this, but I believe there is only one PCI
card in existence that does this.
For the one or two cards that do this, the device drivers could flag
this to the PCI subsystem. In the flagged case the sysfs read code
could shut off interrupts, enable the ROM, copy it, and then reenable
interrupts.
