If you mean issuing a reset to that specific device, there is no
portable way to do this, if there is any way at all. In most cases it's
likely impossible to reset just one device on the PCI bus.

It's different if you're writing a driver for such device - it doesn't
have to be "portable", and many (all?) PCI glue chips can be reset (and
can reset the rest of stuff on the card) by writing to a special (bit)
register.
