I'm looking through the PCI bugs in bugzilla.kernel.org and came
across one that I opened for this issue
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117191)

Is this still an issue?  I've applied some patches from Yinghai, but I
know there are a bunch more in the queue, so I'm trying to figure out
what's fixed and what's still broken.
