This is kind of backwards from what I was thinking. Basically what I
would like to see is at probe time we should work our way up the PCIe
buses checking to see if any device has
PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_RELAXED_ORDERING set. The assumption is if we can't
use relaxed ordering with the downstream facing port we probably
shouldn't be enabling it on our upstream facing port. We don't want to
be writing to other devices and such since we don't know what they
need, we will only know what our device needs and if the root complex
reports that it can't support relaxed ordering we should disable it
for the device we are initializing and move on.

You might use pcie_get_minimum_link as an example of what I am
thinking. Basically what we should do is add a function that will
return true if any of the devices above us do not support relaxed
ordering, otherwise return false. Then based on that result if we get
a return that indicates that relaxed ordering is not supported we
should update our device to disable relaxed ordering. If the device
above us doesn't exist, or isn't PCIe we should just exit and skip
updating relaxed ordering since we are probably running in a guest.
