That needs too much effort because we need to modify nearly every pci
driver, and it exceeds my ability. :)

The existing design works for so many years, so it is mostly
reasonable. For the LS7A case, the root cause comes from the root
port, so a workaround on the root port seems somewhat reasonable.
