what if we only have conditional enumeration ?  (leaving removing 
devices followed by SBR as is) ?

following code is doing little more extra work than our normal ERR_FATAL 
path.

pciehp_unconfigure_device doing little more than enumeration to 
quiescence the bus.

/*
		 * Ensure that no new Requests will be generated from
		 * the device.
		 */
		if (presence) {
			pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &command);
			command &= ~(PCI_COMMAND_MASTER | PCI_COMMAND_SERR);
			command |= PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE;
			pci_write_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, command);
		}
