RFC: sysfs node for Secondary PCI bus reset (PCIe Hot Reset)

From: Pali Rohár

Hello!

PCIe card can be reset via in-band Hot Reset signal which can be
triggered by PCIe bridge via Secondary Bus Reset bit in PCI config
space.

Kernel already exports sysfs node "reset" for triggering Functional
Reset of particular function of PCI device. But in some cases Functional
Reset is not enough and Hot Reset is required.

Following RFC patch exports sysfs node "reset_bus" for PCI bridges which
triggers Secondary Bus Reset and therefore for PCIe bridges it resets
connected PCIe card.

What do you think about it?

Currently there is userspace script which can trigger PCIe Hot Reset by
modifying PCI config space from userspace:

But because kernel already provides way how to trigger Functional Reset
it could provide also way how to trigger PCIe Hot Reset.
