Jesse/Konrad/Ian-

I sent this patch out as part of a pull request for David Miller's
net-next tree.  I know that Greg sent this originally out to the
linux-pci mailing list as a RFC. Since Greg also has a patch against
ixgbe which implemented this flag, I sent both patches for inclusion
into David Miller's net-next.

Dave is wanting to ensure that the PCI maintainers have reviewed this
and are ok with it before pulls my series of patches.
