Introduce PCIe Ext Capability Device Serial Number support,
so we can use the unique device serial number to identify
the physical device. During system suspend, if the PCIe
device was removed and inserted a new same device, after
system resume there is no good way to identify it, maybe
Device Serial Number is a good choice if device support.

Finally, 'the comment below':
I know you were following Bjorn's suggestion, which I thought
was an improvement, but why not do above assignment in
pci_device_serial_number() ?
See above....

pci_device_serial_number() would then have the side-effect of saving
the result somewhere, and callers would have to know where to look.
Ah, like so many other features of a PCI device? -- what are all those
flags/status bits in pdev for ??? ;-)

Personally, I think it's simpler to return the serial number directly
and avoid the side-effect, but maybe this is just bike-shedding.

What struck me about rtning a value is in pci_init_capabilities(),
it was the only function with a rtn value that had to be put into a pci_dev struct element,
while all the others stored their related capabilities in the pdev, or other struct
related to it.

So, maybe there should be a "pci_device_serial_number_init()" function
which does the storage in the pdev struct, and another (wrapper,
dare I shoot myself, inline) that is "pci_device_serial_number()" that returns
the value of the pdev's sn element, if another module or other core component
want to get it. .... and do that in a future patch... :-/

As long as we are bike-shedding, I'd just drop "sn" and do:

return ((u64)hi<< 32) | lo;

And of course, you need spaces before "&hi" and "&lo" in the
pci_read_config_dword() calls.
