Seems to work ok for the buggy i915 reload case.  But looking at it
again, I really don't like two things:
  1) doing just the set_power_state seems wrong, what about the rest of
  enable?
  2) allowing nested enables at all

I know sysfs currently allows us to bump the enable count to arbitrary
levels, but that's easy to fix; we can just check pci_is_enabled()
before calling enable_device in the sysfs store routine.

If we did that, we could warn when pci_enable_device is called in a
nested way, which is generally a bug (two drivers trying to take over a
device?).

I don't think I buy that VGA is special anyway, at least not for KMS
enabled kernels, where vgacon and the BIOS can't assume anything about
graphics state anymore.  More generally, I don't think BIOSes have been
able to assume anything about the current graphics state since Windows
3.1, when most platforms stopped using BIOS calls and/or VGA regs for
mode setting.

Thoughts?
