These are not plug-in PCIe GPU cards, will exist on upcoming server
baseboards. ACPI-reset should wok for plug-in devices as well as long
as firmware has _RST method defined in ACPI-device associated with
the PCIe hot-plug slot.

I've verified PCIe plug-in feature using SYSFS interface.

1) Remove device using sysfs interface
  root@test:/sys/bus/pci# echo 1 > devices/0005:01:00.0/remove
  root@test:/sys/bus/pci# lspci -s 0005:01:00.0
 
2) Rescan PCI bus using sysfs interface
  root@test:/sys/bus/pci# echo 1 > devices/0005:00:00.0/rescan
  root@test:/sys/bus/pci# lspci -s 0005:01:00.0
  0005:01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 2341 (rev a1)

3) List current reset methods
  root@jetson:/sys/bus/pci# cat devices/0005:01:00.0/reset_method
  acpi,flr

Example AML code:
 // Device definition for slot/devfn
  Device(GPU0) {
     Name(_ADR,0x00000000)
     Method (_RST, 0)
     {
        printf("Entering ACPI _RST method")
        // RESET code
        printf("Exiting ACPI _RST method")
     }
  }

4) Issue device reset from the userspace
 root@test:/sys/bus/pci# echo 1 > devices/0005:01:00.0/reset

dmesg:
 [ 6156.426303] ACPI Debug:  "Entering PCI9 _RST method"
 [ 6156.427007] ACPI Debug:  "Exiting PCI9 _RST method"

Yes, it would be very useful to know what PCI quirks were applied during boot.
Should I create a separate patch for adding pci_info() or include as part of this
patch?
