I don't know.  I took a very quick glance at the PCI 3.0 spec and I
didn't see the description of data associated with an End Tag.  It'd
be nice to have a spec reference for whatever we implement here.

It sounds like this fixes some real problems, and it'd also be nice to
have more specifics about them, e.g., what devices, how to reproduce,
etc.
