I'm really interested in how this happens.  I'm not happy with the
pciehp state machine, and I wonder if it is causing or obscuring this
problem.

For example, pcie_isr() reads PCI_EXP_SLTSTA to find out what
happened.  Then it queues events (attention button, presence detect
changed, etc.)  Along the way, we re-read PCI_EXP_SLTSTA.  That seems
wrong to me -- I think we should capture the state *once*, save it,
and act on it.  If we re-read it, we'll see transitions that might
confuse us.

Similarly, pcie_isr() reads and acts on PCI_EXP_LNKSTA (via
pciehp_check_link_active()).  I think we should capture and save that
at the same time we capture PCI_EXP_SLTSTA, before we queue up work
events that are going to change things.

And I'm not sure it's really necessary for pcie_isr() to queue up
*separate* events for attention button, presence detect, power fault,
and link state events.  I suspect that could throw in extraneous
events that confuse things.  For instance, I think it's possible for
pcie_isr() to see a single interrupt with PCI_EXP_SLTSTA showing both
a presence detect change (card now present) and a link state change
(link now up).  It will queue two events and we'll probably see a
"Link Up event ignored" message.  I think it would be better if
pcie_isr() captured the register values we need, bundled them up,
and queued a single work item to deal with them.

Something's definitely wrong here, but shouldn't we be able to add and
remove a device as many times as we want, as quickly as we want,
without problems?  Maybe this particular issue is a driver problem or
a core problem with the proc file maintenance?  I wonder if this is
something we could reproduce without pciehp at all, just by inserting
and removing a module?

We might have to do something like this eventually, but I'd really
like to see if we can simplify the pciehp state machine a little
before we add more stuff to it.
