This is a long-standing issue, and I would *love* to nail it, but this
doesn't feel like the right solution to me.  What's unique about vmd
here?

I guess maybe it's similar to the situation Korneliusz and Alexander
ran into at [1]?

And why is t7xx called out specifically here?  This is a pretty
generic sysfs attribute issue and it doesn't *seem* like t7xx should
be special in that respect.  Oooh, maybe it's the fact that there's a
t7xx patch [2] coming that adds pci_rescan_bus() there?

Krzysztof has converted a lot of the sysfs files to static attributes,
e.g.,

  506140f9c06b ("PCI/sysfs: Convert "index", "acpi_index", "label" to static attributes")
  d93f8399053d ("PCI/sysfs: Convert "vpd" to static attribute")
  f42c35ea3b13 ("PCI/sysfs: Convert "reset" to static attribute")
  527139d738d7 ("PCI/sysfs: Convert "rom" to static attribute")
  e1d3f3268b0e ("PCI/sysfs: Convert "config" to static attribute")

I think that's the *best* approach since the sysfs infrastructure
already prevents races here.  But these last few files are more
difficult to convert, so we've been kind of stalled on them.
