No, it does not.  I modified this to only clear PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY and
call pcie_flr(), the Samsung controller dies just as it did previously.

Do you mean PCI_COMMAND_MASTER rather than PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY?  I tried
that too, it doesn't work either.  I'm not really sure the theory
behind clearing memory, clearing busmaster to stop DMA seems like a
sane thing to do, but doesn't help here.  Thanks,
