This to me doesn't look like kernel style. I'd rather see a define 
replace just '~0', but I defer to Bjorn.

Neither does this using custom error codes rather than standard Linux 
errno. I point this out as I that's were I'd start with the config 
accessors. Though there are lots of occurrences so we'd need a way to do 
this in manageable steps.

Can't we make PCI_OP_READ and PCI_USER_READ_CONFIG set the data value 
and delete the drivers all doing this? Then we have 2 copies (in source) 
rather than the many this series modifies. Though I'm not sure if there 
are other cases of calling pci_bus.ops.read() which expect to get ~0.
