PCI-e has a common reset concept (warm and cold).  I've been looking 
around and I can't seem to find any common reset mechanism for PCI.  Is 
FLR something that is per-device or a standard PCI mechanism?  If it's 
the former, than we've basically implemented FLR using this bit in the 
config space.
