I am unconvinced. Designing an endpoint that relies on ref clock
timing not guaranteed by the spec does not sound like a way to build
reliable hardware.

The PCIe Card Electromechanical spec, r2.0, sec 2.2.3 says the clock
goes inactive after PERST# goes active, but doesn't specify how long.
In the absence of a spec requirement, I don't see a reason to assume
other systems preserve the ref clock after PERST#, so if the Intel
device requires clocks for 500ms after PERST#, we should see problems
on other systems.

Sec 2.2 says that on power up, the power rails must be stable at least
T(PVPERL) (100ms) and reference clocks must be stable at least
T(PERST-CLK) (100us) before PERST# is deasserted. I think it's more
likely the problem is here.

The current iproc_pcie_reset() looks like it sleeps 100ms *after* it
deasserts PERST#. Should that be *before* deasserting PERST#?
