Subject: [PATCH 1/3] PCI: Method for removing PCI devices

This patch adds an attribute named "remove" to a PCI device's sysfs
directory.  Writing a non-zero value to this attribute will remove the PCI
device and any children of it.

+The 'remove' file is used to remove the PCI device, by writing a non-zero
+integer to the file.  This does not involve any kind of hot-plug functionality,
+e.g. powering off the device.  The device is removed from the kernel's list of
+PCI devices, the sysfs directory for it removed, and the device will be removed
+from any drivers attached to it.
