I'll look at that patch again.  I had some questions about it the
first time, but perhaps it makes more sense after 928bea9648 has been
applied.

Andreas originally reported a GPF oops in pci_pme_list_scan().  I
posted a refcounting patch, which made the problem go away, but I
can't explain why, and I don't want to apply it without understanding
that.  Decoding his oops shows this:

  24: 0f 1f 00             nopl   (%rax)
  27: 48 8b 50 10           mov    0x10(%rax),%rdx
  2b:* 48 8b 52 38           mov    0x38(%rdx),%rdx <-- trapping instruction
  2f: 48 85 d2             test   %rdx,%rdx

%rax is the pci_dev pointer, so 0x10(%rax) is the dev->bus pointer,
which we put in %rdx.  The oops says %rdx = 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b, which is
POISON_FREE, so I think we loaded dev->bus out of a struct pci_dev
that has already been freed.

pci_pme_list_scan() holds pci_pme_list_mutex while it traverses
pci_pme_list, and the pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device() path removes
the pci_dev by calling pci_pme_active(), which also holds
pci_pme_list_mutex, so I don't understand how pci_pme_list_scan() can
see a pci_dev that has already been freed.

If I understand Andreas correctly, 928bea9648 also fixes the crash,
even without my refcounting change.  Can you explain why?
