So we do a reset on each root port or downstream port, but the PCI to
PCI bridge spec (1.2) states:

        11.1.1. Secondary Reset Signal
                The secondary reset signal, RST#, is a logical OR of the
                primary interface RST# signal and
                the state of the Secondary Bus Reset bit of the Bridge
                Control register (see Section 3.2.5.18).

I read that to mean that in a legacy topology, doing a reset on the top
level bridge triggers a reset down the entire hierarchy.  How does this
apply to a PCIe topology?  Can we just do a reset on the top level root
ports?  If so, that would also imply that a reset propagates down
through PCIe-to-PCI bridges, so legacy PCI devices may be reset and the
option name is misleading.

Even so, you still have root complex endpoints, which are not getting
reset through this, so it's really not a complete solution.  Thanks,
