This series adds PCI bus and slot reset interfaces to the already
existing function reset interface.  I need this for two reasons, the
first is that not all devices support function level reset.  Even
some of those that we detect as supporting a PM reset on D3hot->D0
transition actually don't do any reset.  Others have no reset
capability at all.  We currently implement a secondary bus reset
escalation from the function reset path, but only when there is a
single devfn on the bus.  Drivers like vfio can have ownership of
all of the devices on a bus and should therefore have a path to
initiate a secondary bus reset with multiple devices.  This is
particularly required for use of GPUs by userspace, where none of
the predominant GPUs implement a useful function level reset.

The second reason is that even the current function reset escalating
to a secondary bus reset can cause problems with hotplug controllers.
If a root port supports PCIe HP with suprise removal, a bus reset
can trigger a presence detection change, which results in an attempt
to remove the struct device.  By having a slot reset interface, we
can involve the hotplug controllers to allow for a controlled bus
reset and avoid this spurious removal attempt.

Takao-san also needs a PCI bus reset interface to quiesce devices
during kexec.  I believe this interface also provides that.

Why is this an RFC?  I posted this a while back and self-nacked it
because there were issues when hotplug was built as a module.  Now
that we're removing module support for PCI hotplug and pciehp in
particular, I think that problem is resolved, but it needs further
testing.  Coments welcome.  Thanks,

Alex
