I think we have to go to remove/rescan for this case as you also
mentioned above. There is no state to save. All BAR assignments
are gone. Entire device programming is also lost.

I don't think pci_reset_bus() can recover from this situation safely.
It will make things worse by saving/restoring the hardware default
state.

This should remove/rescan logic should be inside DPC's slot_reset()
function BTW. Not here.
