Can you also include a hint about how the problem manifests, and a URL
to the report if available?

It's beyond the scope of this patch, but I've never liked the
semantics of pci_device_is_present() because it's racy by design.  All
it tells us is that some time in the *past*, the device was present.
It's telling that almost all calls test for !pci_device_is_present(),
which does make a little more sense.
