A few PCI discussion topics:

PCI secondary bus resets - How to avoid surprise hotplugs and/or how to
re-architect the device reset interface.

pci_is_pcie() - Not just for PCIe capabilities?  How to handle
non-compliant PCIe devices that don't expose a capability.

I/O port pci-sysfs resource files - Fix or remove?

Thanks,
