Hi Guilherme, thanks for your review, answer to your suggestion is
inline.

So the thing here is that I want to proceed through out this path only
when the device is in pci_channle_io_perm_failure. Looking at the
function you suggested there is a third state that would return True
here which is pci_channel_io_frozen, it's also a concern that this list
of possible values can increase eventually as well, so I would rather
keep this as is.

I've just realized that I need to fix this in ixgbevf as well, so I'll
send a second version of this one soon.

Thanks,

Mauro
