Thanks for testing that!

PCI does have a few software timing requirements, mostly related to
reset and power state (D0/D3cold). ASPM has some timing parameters,
too, but I think they're all requirements on the hardware, not on
software.

Adding an arbitrary delay anywhere shouldn't break anything, and other
than those few required situations, it shouldn't fix anything either.
