I agree, we can't do something that works only on new hardware -- we
have to make the existing hardware in the field work.

What about the "waiting for as much time as the pre-FLR value for
Completion Timeout" part?

Or can we do something like asserting FLR, sleeping 100ms, then
attempting a write to something in config space and retrying until it
sticks?  It's kludgy, but I'm not sure it's any worse than putting the
retries in the restore path, and it would have the advantage that
other writers of config space wouldn't have to worry.
